Satellites recorded several fires at the plant, which has a processing capacity of around 20 million tons of oil per year and produces fuel for the Russian army. The Ryazan, Afipsky, and Saratov refineries were also targeted. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, “Neptune” missiles hit the “Proton-Electrotex” plant in Orel, which manufactures electronics for Russian missiles. In the Bryansk region, the Defense Forces struck two “Iskander” launchers and a “Pantsir-S1” system.
