Ukrainian forces strike oil terminal in Krasnodar Krai β Ukraine's General Staff
Ukrainian forces confirmed a strike on an oil terminal in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, as part of ongoing military actions against Russian-held territories.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Ukrainian forces successfully targeted the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal located near Volna in Russia's Krasnodar Krai. This incident underscores the Ukrainian military's continued operations against Russian logistical and military infrastructure amid the ongoing conflict. Reports indicate that a fire broke out at the oil terminal; however, the full extent of the damage remains unclear at this time.
In addition to the oil terminal strike, Ukrainian forces also targeted a Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and gun system near Kacha in Crimea, demonstrating an effort to weaken Russian defensive capabilities in occupied territories. This coordinated attack aligns with a broader strategy by Ukraine to disrupt Russian military operations and command structures in the region. The Ukrainian military further claimed responsibility for striking an artillery repair unit and personnel in occupied areas, illustrating the ongoing intensity of engagements in the conflict.
Russian authorities in Krasnodar Krai responded to these strikes by characterizing the events as a "large-scale attack" that resulted in damage to fuel storage tanks, warehouses, and various facilities in the region. This escalating violence highlights the persistent tensions and military confrontations between Ukrainian and Russian forces since the beginning of the conflict, with implications on the supply chains and operational capabilities of the Russian military.
