On the night of 12 June, the Defence Forces carried out strikes on oil refineries in Nizhnekamsk, the Togliattikauchuk plant and Russian military command posts.
According to Censor.NET, the strikes were confirmed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"On the night of 12 June 2026, units of the Ukrainian Defence Forces in the Republic of Tatarstan, Russian Federation, struck the TANECO and TAIF-NK oil refineries in Nizhnekamsk.
The destruction of the targets and a fire on the premises of both facilities have been confirmed," the statement reads.
The attacked facilities are key suppliers of fuel both to the civilian market and to meet the logistical needs of the Russian army.
- The TANECO oil refinery complex is one of the largest oil refineries in the Russian Federation. Its design capacity is over 16 million tonnes of crude oil per year. The facility produces a wide range of fuels and lubricants, including diesel fuel, aviation fuel and other petroleum products.
- TAIF-NK is a large oil refining complex characterised by an exceptionally high degree of oil refining (following the launch of the Heavy Residue Deep Refining Complex, this figure is reported to be over 95%). The company refines heavy, high-sulphur crude oil and gas condensate. The plant’s products are divided into several key segments — ranging from bulk fuel to specialised feedstock for petrochemicals and military requirements.
