In collaboration with Unmanned Systems Forces and the Main Intelligence Agency, SOF utilized drones to target the facility, resulting in a significant fire outbreak.

It generates gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, and other petroleum products, a portion of which is allocated to the aggressor state's armed forces. Previous reports indicated that SOF targeted the AVT-4 and AVT-5 primary oil processing units, along with an RVS-2000 storage tank, on June 10, causing the refinery to cease operations.",
