Ukraine targets two Russian oil refineries and an oil depot in nighttime attack (video)

Overnight on 6 June, Ukraine allegedly targeted three Russian fuel facilities, according to reports from Russian sources and NASA FIRMS data, including two oil refineries and a fuel depot.

In the past three months, Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks against the Russian oil industry, significantly disrupting fuel supplies crucial for the Russian military, while simultaneously decreasing the Kremlin’s export revenues.

Novoshakhtinsk, Rostov Oblast

Last night, Vasily Golubev, governor of Russia’s Rostov Oblast, reported a drone attack on an oil refinery in Novoshakhtinsk less than 10 kilometers from Russia’s border with the occupied part of Ukraine’s Luhansk Oblast and about 150 km away from the frontline.

“A UAV attack resulted in a fire at the Novoshakhtinsk Petroleum Products Plant. Emergency services are working at the site. Information on casualties is being clarified,” he wrote, later adding that the fire had expanded to cover an area of 50 square meters, and firefighting efforts were temporarily halted due to a subsequent attack.

Videos posted on social media show a massive fire at the facility.

The governor later claimed that the fire at the refinery was contained within an area of 100 square meters and extinguished by 4:00 a.m., with preliminary reports indicating no fatalities or injuries.
