On the night of 5 February, Ukrainian forces attacked an oil infrastructure facility in Russia. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Albashneft LLC in the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation was hit. The operation was carried out by units of the Security Service of Ukraine together with other components of the Ukrainian Defence Forces.

“This plant for primary oil processing and production of petroleum products is positioned as a ‘mini-refinery’ and is involved in the supply of petrol and diesel for the Russian occupation army. The hit was confirmed. A fire broke out at the facility. The results of the damage are being clarified,” the General Staff said in a statement.

Continued strikes on strategic targets

The General Staff stressed that Ukrainian forces will continue to strike at strategic targets that support Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine. The aim of these strikes is to undermine the logistics of the occupiers and reduce their military potential.

In addition to the strike on the “mini-refinery”, Ukrainian units of the Unmanned Systems Forces successfully attacked a Russian Buk anti-aircraft missile system located in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia region. A hit and significant damage to the target was recorded.

These strikes are yet another testament to the effectiveness of Ukrainian forces and their ability to conduct precision strikes on critical enemy targets.
