Defense forces struck Russian oil depots, terminals, and arsenals
The Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a series of strikes on oil infrastructure and military facilities in Russia, specifically in the Leningrad Oblast and Krasnodar Krai, where explosions, fires, and secondary detonations were reported. Command posts, warehouses, and areas where Russian troops were concentrated were also targeted.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces struck several key targets in Russia simultaneously, and this series of attacks affected both oil infrastructure and military logistics in various regions, where fires, detonations, and damage to facilities were reported following the explosions.
According to military sources, strikes were carried out on the “Peterhofskaya” oil depot and the “Neste” oil terminal in Lomonosov, Leningrad Oblast, where explosions and fires were reported following the strikes, and the extent of the damage is still being assessed.
Separately, there are reports of damage to the Kronstadt naval base in St. Petersburg, which serves as a key hub for the repair and support of Baltic Fleet ships, and explosions were also observed there following the strike. “Kronstadt” plays a vital role in Russia’s military infrastructure in the Baltic region, specifically guarding the sea approaches to St. Petersburg, making it a strategic asset for the Russian Navy.
At the same time, the arsenal of the 1060th Logistics Support Center in the Velikaya Izhora area, where missiles, ammunition, and military equipment were stored, was hit, and explosions, a fire, and secondary detonations were also reported there. In addition to targets in the Leningrad region, strikes also hit the Ust-Labinsk oil depot in the Krasnodar region, where a fire broke out; the depot itself is used to supply fuel to Russian troops in various areas.
Ukrainian forces also struck command and observation posts near Malinovka in the Belgorod region, warehouses in the Luhansk region, and UAV control centers in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, where infrastructure damage was reported.
Separately, strikes were reported on areas where Russian troops were concentrated near Pokrovsk, Rodynske, and Petropavlivka, as well as in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, where enemy units were located. The General Staff emphasizes that these actions are aimed at reducing the Russian Federation’s military capabilities, particularly its logistics, fuel supply, and command-and-control capabilities at the front. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Security Service of Ukraine confirmed the strike on the Ust-Labinsk oil depot in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, where a massive fire broke out following the explosions. Also, according to the SBU, military facilities in the Leningrad region and the Kronstadt area were hit.
