At night, Ukrainian defenders struck a strategic target in the Bryansk region of Russia. An oil pumping station that supplied diesel fuel to the Russian army was hit. A fire broke out on the territory of the facility, and the consequences of the attack are being clarified, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to the Ukrainian military, on the night of August 29, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a comprehensive fire attack on a linear production station near the village of Naitopovichi in the Bryansk region of Russia.
This station pumps diesel fuel through the main oil pipelines, particularly for the needs of the Russian occupation forces.
The pumping capacity of this facility is about 10.5 million tons per year.
The strike on Russia's strategic facility was carried out by missile forces, artillery, and unmanned aerial systems in cooperation with the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
A fire has already been reported at the facility, and the overall results of the strike are being clarified.
"The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to take effective measures to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian army, in particular its logistical capabilities, and to force the invaders to stop their aggressive war against Ukraine," Ukraine's General Staff said.
Earlier today, Ukraine's forces successfully struck a high-value target in the temporarily occupied Crimea. This was a Russian radar system from the S-400 arsenal.
In addition, yesterday it became known about the destruction of Russia's small missile ship Buyan-M, which carries Kalibr cruise missiles. The strike was captured on video.
