On December 25, the Defense Forces of Ukraine carried out a precision strike on the strategic Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in russia’s Rostov region
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on the results of the attack.
The Ukrainian Air Force successfully struck the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery with Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles. The attack resulted in a series of explosions, indicating that the target was hit. The final extent of the damage is currently being assessed.
The Novoshakhtinsk refinery is one of the key producers and suppliers of petroleum products in southern russia and plays a crucial role in the logistical support of russian troops. The facility supplies the occupying forces with diesel and aviation fuel.
The refinery’s tank farm has a total capacity exceeding 210,000 cubic meters, making it a key part of the enemy fuel infrastructure.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to resist russian aggression and dismantle its offensive capabilities.
Earlier Defense Express reported that Ukrainian strike on russia’s Il-38N aircraft had cleared way for submarine attack in Novorossiysk. We also wrote that Ukraine had targeted russian air base near Lipetsk.
Nice Christmas present for the orcs.
A gift, given to Ukraine by Great Britain to forward them to the terrorists. 😉
