On December 12, Ukrainian defenders struck the oil refinery “Slavneft-YANOS” in the Yaroslavl region, which is one of the largest in northern Russia. The strike also affected ammunition depots and concentrations of personnel in Donbas.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed successful strikes on the oil enterprise “Slavneft-YANOS,” which can process up to 15 million tons of oil per year. This enterprise plays a significant role in supplying resources to the Russian Federation’s armed forces. The strike on the plant caused a fire and several explosions were recorded. The exact extent of the damage is currently being clarified.
In addition to the plant, Ukrainian forces struck an ammunition depot in the area of the village of Avdiivske (formerly Pervomaiske) and concentrations of enemy personnel in the areas of Myrnohrad and Rodynske in Donetsk region. The losses of the enemy due to the strikes are still being assessed.
This incident is a continuation of a series of attacks on critical infrastructure objects in Russia. On December 11, it became known that Ukraine had halted the operation of a Russian oil production platform in the Caspian Sea, and on December 12, special forces of Ukraine struck two Russian ships near the coast of Kalmykia.
The attack on “Slavneft-YANOS” may have significant consequences for Russian military logistics, considering the importance of the plant in supplying fuel to Russian forces. Experts point out that such strikes may affect the operational capabilities of the Russian side on the front.
