Long-range drones from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Alpha special operations center struck the Temp oil depot in Rybinsk, Yaroslavl region of Russia. The attack was carried out on the morning of December 31.
According to sources in the Security Service of Ukraine, this oil depot is part of the Russian reserve system and is designed to store large volumes of fuel.
The video shows that after the SBU drones hit the facility, a large fire broke out.
The city of Rybinsk is a major transit and logistics hub, and the Temp oil depot is an important link in the storage and distribution of petroleum products in the northeastern region of Russia.
“The SBU continues to cut off the supply chains of Russian petroleum products with surgical precision, both abroad and to the troops attacking Ukraine. This systematic work will continue in 2026,” said an informed source.
