Ukrainian Defense Forces units have once again struck the “Slavneft-YANOS” oil refinery in Yaroslavl, Russia, as well as a missile brigade deployment site and a petroleum products transshipment terminal in Crimea, according to a statementby the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine andthe Security Service of Ukraine, as reported by "Komersant Ukrainian".
The statement notes that on the night of July 6, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces once again struck the “Slavneft-YANOS” oil refinery in Yaroslavl (Yaroslavl Oblast, Russian Federation).
“The Yaroslavl oil refinery (‘Slavneft-YANOS’) is one of the largest oil refining enterprises in the Russian Federation. The facility’s design capacity is 15 million metric tons of crude oil per year. The plant produces automotive gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, lubricants, and other products used, in particular, to support the aggressor state’s military logistics,” the statement reads.
The General Staff specifies that explosions were recorded in the vicinity of the target and smoke was observed on the plant’s premises.
“Among other targets, the NOVATEK-Ust-Luga oil refinery (in the village of Slobodka) and the permanent deployment site of the enemy’s 26th Missile Brigade in the area (in the village of Luga) in the Leningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation.”
In the temporarily occupied Crimea, the “TES-Terminal-1” light petroleum products transshipment terminal in Kerch—one of the largest complexes for the storage and transshipment of light petroleum products in Crimea—was struck.
“The ‘TES-Terminal-1’ terminal is one of the largest complexes for the storage and transshipment of light petroleum products in Crimea. The facility’s tank farm handles the receipt, storage, and shipment of gasoline, diesel fuel, and other petroleum products, including for the needs of the occupying forces in the southern regions of Ukraine,” the statement reads.
In addition, a railway overpass in the Dovzhansk area of Luhansk Oblast—which the enemy uses to transport personnel, weapons, ammunition, and logistical supplies—was struck.
An enemy UAV depot in the Chervonopopivka area and a concentration of military equipment near Pysarivka in Luhansk Oblast were also struck.

The SBU reported that a successful strike on the oil loading terminal at the “Vysotsk” seaport in the Leningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation has also been confirmed. As a result of the strike, two oil loading stands were put out of commission and three tanks containing petroleum products were hit.
“Drones also struck the ‘First Plant’ oil refinery in the Kaluga region. A fire broke out at the facility following the explosions,” the SBU reported.
Separately, the SBU carried out a successful operation in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Three hangars containing aircraft at the “Gvardeyskoye” airfield were struck. A “Pantsir-S2” anti-aircraft missile system near Simferopol was also hit.
“As long as the enemy continues to shell peaceful Ukrainian cities, its military and fuel infrastructure will suffer significant losses. We are systematically destroying the resources that fuel the Russian war machine, and this effort will only intensify,” emphasized SBU Head Yevhen Khmara.
