The refinery is located around 1,300 kilometers (810 miles) from the Ukrainian border and was last hit overnight on July 14.
Ukraine launched an attack on the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat oil refinery complex in Russia's Republic of Bashkortostan on August 13, according to the General Staff. The complex, one of the largest in the Russian Federation, has a processing capacity of up to 10 million tons per year and produces various oil products and polymers.
It supports the Russian occupation army. The refinery, located around 1,300 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, was targeted overnight on July 14 and again on August 13. Additionally, a Wildberries warehouse and distribution facility in Bashkortostan's Chishminsky district were hit. Ukraine has not commented on the attack. In recent weeks, Ukraine has targeted multiple Wildberries warehouses, including one in Yekaterinburg on August 7 and another in Tula Oblast on August 5.
The long-range strikes resulted in significant damage to four Russian warships in the Black Sea Fleet naval base in Novorossiysk on August 12, with varying degrees of damage reported.
