Ukraine's SBU strikes major Russian oil refinery in Yaroslavl
Ukraine's SBU Security Service, in coordination with other components of Ukraine's Defense Forces, struck the Yaroslavl oil refinery on Russian territory and Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) coast guard vessels in occupied Kerch, the SBU press service reported on Aug. 6.
On August 6, Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) conducted a strike on a significant Russian oil refinery in Yaroslavl, located over 700 kilometers from Ukraine's border. This attack targeted the Slavneft-YANOS refinery, one of Russia's five largest oil refineries with a processing capacity of nearly 15 million tons of crude oil per year.
The Ukrainian drone assault resulted in at least six explosions and fires at four different locations within the expansive facility. Four RVS-2000 crude oil storage tanks were damaged and two caught fire, while key processing units, the ELOU-1 and AVT-3 installations, were also destroyed and set ablaze. Furthermore, two Project 10410 (Svetlyak-class) FSB coast guard patrol vessels in the port of Kerch, part of Russian-occupied Crimea, were struck by Ukrainian drones.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces attributed this strike to the use of FP-1 drones, a claim corroborated by Ukraine's General Staff.
