Details: Hits by strike UAVs were recorded on the plant's premises, with explosions reported in the target area. Early reports indicate that elements of the primary oil processing unit had been damaged.

The scale of the damage is being confirmed.

The refinery's annual processing capacity is more than 4 million tonnes of oil. The facility is part of Russia's energy rear and is involved in supplying the Russian armed forces.

Storage facilities belonging to the Russians' logistics units were also hit in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk Oblast (the city of Donetsk) and Zaporizhzhia Oblast (the village of Solodkovodne).

In addition, in order to weaken the Russian offensive capabilities, strikes were carried out on a UAV command post near Velyka Novosilka (occupied Donetsk Oblast), as well as on clusters of Russian military personnel in the areas of Yunakivka (Sumy Oblast) and Kolisnykivka (Kharkiv Oblast). The number of Russian casualties is being determined.
