The SBU, together with other components of the Defense Forces, struck the Yaroslavl oil refinery and FSB Coast Guard ships in Kerch
The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Defense Forces, carried out successful strikes against the Slavneft–YANOS oil refinery in Russian Yaroslavl, located more than 700 km from Ukraine’s state border, and against FSB Coast Guard ships in temporarily occupied Kerch.
The Yaroslavl refinery is one of the five largest enterprises in Russia’s oil refining industry, with a capacity of almost 15 million tons of crude oil per year. The plant produces gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation kerosene, and other strategically important petroleum products for Russia’s central regions and the capital agglomeration. As a result of the Ukrainian drone attack, at least six explosions were heard on the plant’s territory, and fires broke out in four different parts of the refinery.
According to preliminary information, four RVS-2000 crude oil storage tanks were damaged, causing a spill. Two tanks are on fire. In addition, key process units ELOU-1 and AVT-3 were damaged and also caught fire.
Also, as a result of drone strikes on the port area in Kerch (temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea), two Patrol Project 10410 ships (“Svitlyak”) of the Russian FSB Coast Guard were damaged — Balaklava and Kerch.
The SBU consistently works to reduce Russia’s military-economic potential. Military facilities, fuel and energy sector enterprises, and other lawful targets that directly support Russian aggression against Ukraine will continue to be struck.
