According to the report, on the night of February 15, operators of the 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces, in cooperation with the Special Operations Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate, struck the Tamanneftegaz oil and petroleum products export terminal.
It is a major Russian export terminal located near the port of Taman in the Krasnodar Krai.
The facility specializes in the transshipment of oil, petroleum products, and liquefied hydrocarbons from storage tank farms for further shipment by sea.
The terminal ensures the operation of Russia's oil export infrastructure and supports the logistical capabilities of Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Its proximity to the Crimean Bridge and temporarily occupied Crimea enhances its role in the rear support of enemy forces in the Black Sea area.
A series of explosions was recorded as a result of the attack. Detailed results of the strike are being clarified.
In addition, according to the General Staff, a Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system was successfully hit near the settlement of Kacha in Crimea.
Over the past day, strikes were also carried out against enemy facilities in other directions. In particular, near the occupied village of Vilne in the Donetsk region, a repair unit belonging to one of the artillery brigades of the Russian armed forces was hit.
And near the occupied settlement of Liubymivka in the Zaporizhzhia region, a strike was recorded on an area where enemy personnel were concentrated.
Enemy losses and the damage inflicted are being clarified.
