This is already the fifth successful special operation targeting oil refineries and other Russian enterprises that supply fuel for the Russian army. The drone sanction policy continues to demonstrate its effectiveness.

Earlier, unknown drones attacked the Astrakhan gas processing plant, which is one of the largest gas chemical complexes in Russia and is actively involved in processing natural gas and gas condensate.

Additionally, drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a pumping station of the Druzhba pipeline near the Russian-Belarusian border. There is a suspicion that this facility may have been damaged by a Ukrainian drone.
