Ukrainian drones hit Slavyansk oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai - source

According to the source, tonight the Security Service of Ukraine, along with Special Operations Forces and UAV Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, hit with drones another Russian refinery plant, namely Slavyansk.

"It is already possible to speak of a successful result - a large fire was recorded in the area of atmospheric columns, which were the main target," the source noted.

The interlocutor adds that the SSU continues to implement a strategy to undermine the economic potential of the Russian Federation and reduce the flow of oil dollars that the enemy is directing to the war effort.

Overall, SSU drones have successfully attacked 12 oil refineries in Russia recently.
