In the Donetsk area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed the Russians’ main and backup command posts using air-launched missiles, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

On August 26 and during the night of August 27, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a number of key enemy targets.

In the Donetsk area, air-launched missiles struck the main and backup command posts of the Russian troops.

In the Chonhar area of the Kherson region, other weapons struck an enemy repair and restoration unit, as well as a UAV control center in Olenivka in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea.

Areas where Russian personnel were concentrated near Novopetrivka in the Zaporizhzhia region and near Voskhod in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea were struck. The extent of the damage inflicted and enemy casualties are being clarified.

Based on an analysis of additional data, it has been established that on August 25, as a result of the strike on the Afipsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar Krai of Russia, damage was confirmed to the ELOU AT processing unit, the gas fractionation unit, and a section of the pipeline.

On the night of August 25, the Krasnodar Krai and Rostov region of Russia were once again targeted—a fire broke out at one of the oil refineries.

The Afipsky refinery has been targeted repeatedly, considering its importance for supplying fuel to the Russian army.
