Ukrainian Forces Strike Russian Oil and Drone Infrastructure in Nighttime Assault.
Military and Industrial Targets Hit Inside Russia
According to Novyny.live: Ukraine’s defense forces launched an attack on Russian military and industrial sites late on June 10 into the early hours of June 11, dealing a serious blow to resources that sustain Moscow’s war effort. The operation targeted the Afipsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region, along with drone-related facilities in occupied territories. For English-speaking readers, this strike underscores Kyiv’s growing capability to project force deep into Russian-held areas and disrupt key supply chains.
The Afipsky refinery plays a critical role in Russia’s military logistics, processing over six million tons of crude oil annually. Following the explosions, a massive fire broke out at the facility, highlighting the severity of the damage inflicted.
Facilities Struck
Additional targets included:
- workshops assembling maritime drones in Sevastopol;
- drone storage depots in Crimea;
- command centers in the Donbas region;
- a drone repair workshop near Avdiivka;
- a drone storage site in Hryhorivka;
- an operator base in Dovzhansk;
- multiple enemy command posts in the Bakhmut, Selydove, and Pokrovsk areas.
This coordinated assault reflects Ukraine’s deliberate strategy to degrade the resources fueling the aggressor’s military operations.
The strikes on the oil refinery and drone infrastructure are part of a broader Ukrainian campaign aimed at reducing Russia’s combat capabilities. By targeting logistical networks, Ukrainian forces seek to weaken the enemy’s supply lines, potentially shifting the battlefield dynamics. Such operations often run parallel to information warfare, underscoring the critical need to control military assets in a protracted conflict.
