Ukraine's Security Service conducted a drone attack on the Afipsky oil refinery in the Russian Krasnodar Krai. According to informed sources, as a result of the special operation, expensive equipment was damaged.
According to sources from RBC-Ukraine, the Afipsky oil refinery, which supplied fuel to the Russian military, was attacked by two drones.
"Such facilities are important targets, as over the past year, the plant produced over 7 million tons of aviation fuel, which was used for enemy military aviation that attacks Ukraine daily," explained sources cited by RBC-Ukraine.
As a result of the SBU special operation, several new installations at the plant processing this fuel were damaged.
"This is a serious blow to the Russian occupiers. According to preliminary information, several tanks with 'black gold' caught fire. Now the Russians will have fewer resources to attack Ukraine with their aircraft," noted RBC-Ukraine's sources.
