The Special Operations Forces (SOF) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and the AFU General Staff confirmed that on the night of August 10, they struck Tobolsk-Neftekhim, the Russia’s largest petrochemical complex in Tyumen region, located more than 2,000 kilometers away.
On August 10, 2026, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SOF) and the General Staff confirmed they had struck the Tobolsk-Neftekhim petrochemical complex in Russia's Tyumen region, located over 2,000 kilometers from Ukraine.
The attack was carried out by Deep Strike units in coordination with the Chernaya Iskra insurgent movement operating on Russian soil. Fires and destruction were reported at the complex located in Tobolsk, Tyumen region.
The AFU General Staff statement confirmed the strike, emphasizing that it was part of efforts to diminish the Russian aggressor's military and economic potential. The attack targeted the complex's central gas fractionation unit, which has a capacity of around 6.6 million metric tonnes of raw materials per year annually.
The unit is a crucial component of the production complex for one of Russia's largest petrochemical enterprises and Europe, producing key materials such as butadiene, isobutylene, maleic anhydride, and MTBE. These substances are vital for producing rocket fuel components, aviation fuel, composite materials for UAVs, and high-octane gasoline, all of which are used in Russia's military-industrial complex.
