Details: Military officials reported that a strike had been carried out on a Chornomornaftohaz facility near Vnukove in Crimea and that the target was confirmed to have been hit.
The General Staff noted that following the temporary occupation of Crimea, facilities belonging to the state-owned company Chornomornaftohaz seized by the Russians are being used by the occupation administration for the extraction, storage and transport of natural gas and petroleum products, as well as to meet the fuel and energy needs of the Russian occupation force on the peninsula.
A ground relay station for controlling Geran/Gerbera strike UAVs near Chornomorske (Autonomous Republic of Crimea) was also struck.
"Relay stations increase the range, stability and quality of control over strike unmanned aerial vehicles used by the Russians to attack Ukrainian territory," the statement reads.
Ukrainian forces also struck a road bridge near Vyselky in Donetsk Oblast which the Russians use for military logistics.
A Russian UAV storage facility near Chervonopopivka and a concentration of Russian troops in Purdivka, Luhansk Oblast, were also hit.
Updated results of previous strikes have been confirmed: on 25 July 2026, a strike on the Tyumen oil refinery was confirmed.
The Tyumen oil refinery is one of the key facilities in the oil refining industry in Western Siberia. The plant's capacity is approximately 7 million tonnes of oil per year. The refinery produces petrol, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, fuel oil and other petroleum products used, among other things, to meet the needs of the Russian military-industrial complex and armed forces.
"Ukraine's defence forces will continue to systematically carry out measures aimed at ending the armed aggression of the Russian Federation," the military said.
