Attack on drone infrastructure
According to the General Staff, a site for storing, training and launching Shahed attack drones was hit near the temporarily occupied Donetsk. These facilities are usually used for regular attacks on Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure.

Strike on Tamaneftegaz
The attack on the Tamaneftegaz oil terminal in Russia damaged a pipeline, two berths and two ships. According to the General Staff, the fire covered a large area – more than a thousand square meters – and damaged the tank farm and one of the vessels.
The facility is an important element of Russia’s export and logistics infrastructure, in particular for military needs.
Crimean direction
In addition, a Ukrainian-made missile struck a temporary basing point for the 92nd Russian Riverboat Brigade in Olenivka in the temporarily occupied Crimea. The consequences of the strike are currently being clarified.
The General Staff emphasizes that such strikes are part of a systematic campaign to reduce Russia’s military and economic potential. Its goal is to complicate the supply of the Russian army, weaken logistics, and force Moscow to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine.
The extent of enemy damage and losses is expected to be clarified.
