The Security Service of Ukraine, in coordination with the Armed Forces, successfully carried out an attack on the “Slavneft-Yanos” oil refinery in Yaroslavl, Russia, and two FSB coast guard vessels in occupied Crimea.
This was reported by the SBU press service.
The Yaroslavl Oil Refinery, according to the security service, is located more than 700 km from Ukraine’s state border and is one of the five largest enterprises in Russia’s oil refining industry, with a capacity of nearly 15 million metric tons of crude oil per year.
The refinery produces gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and other strategically important petroleum products for central Russia and the Moscow metropolitan area. As a result of the attack by Ukrainian drones, at least six explosions were heard on the plant’s premises, and fires broke out in four different sections of the facility.

According to preliminary information, four RVS-2000 crude oil storage tanks were damaged, causing a spill. Two tanks are engulfed in flames. In addition, key processing units ELOU-1 and AVT-3 were damaged, and fires also broke out there.
In Russian-occupied Kerch, two Project 10410 (“Svitlyak”) patrol ships of the Russian FSB’s Coast Guard—“Balaklava” and “Kerch”—were damaged.
As a reminder, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has summarized the results of a 40-day operation targeting Russia. Specifically, more than 100 targets in the rear and 21,000 targets on the front lines were struck.
