The SBU is behind today's attack on an oil refinery in the Smolensk Region. This was reported by interlocutors in the Defence Forces.

The drone strike destroyed 26,000 cubic metres of Russian fuel. The affected facility belongs to Rosneft.

Two fuel and fuel oil storage and pumping bases in the towns of Yartsevo and Rozdorovo were damaged. These bases stored 26,000 cubic metres of Russian fuel. After the powerful explosions, a large-scale fire broke out at the facilities and personnel were evacuated. 

"The SBU continues to effectively destroy the military infrastructure and logistics that provide fuel to the Russian army in Ukraine. These facilities are and will remain our absolutely legitimate targets," the source said.
