Quote from the Special Operations Forces: "A hat trick from the Special Operations Forces and other branches of Ukraine's security and defence forces. You've let another one in."

Details: The oil refinery in Tuapse is involved in supplying Russia's occupying forces on Ukrainian soil.

Hits by attack drones were recorded at the facility, followed by a fire. Information is being gathered on the extent of the damage, the General Staff said.

Ukrainian troops also struck a radar belonging to the Ai-Petri air surveillance battalion near Okhotnyche in temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimea.

Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian units have also successfully struck Russian command and observation posts near Molochansk, Stulneve, Kokhane and Uspenivka, a matériel depot near Kyrylivka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and clusters of Russian troops near Velyka Novosilka and Rodynske in Donetsk Oblast, Starobohdanivka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and Ovrazhky in temporarily occupied Crimea, the General Staff said.

Ukrainian forces struck a drone ground control station near Hola Prystan in Kherson Oblast, among other targets.
