On the night of 18 June, Deep Strike units of the Special Operations Forces struck the ‘Rostovnefteprodukt’ oil depot and a fuel and lubricants depot in the Rostov Region of the Russian Federation.
This was reported by the Special Operations Forces press centre, according to Censor.NET.
Details of the attack
According to the military, the operation was carried out in coordination with the ‘Chernaya Iskra’ insurgent movement operating within the Russian Federation. Several Special Operations Forces drones reached their targets. Fires and destruction were observed at the sites.
"These facilities form part of the system for the storage, transhipment and shipment of fuel and lubricants, petrol, diesel fuel and other petroleum products.
The Rostov Region is a key rear area for the Russian Federation’s troop concentrations in the south and east of Ukraine. The targets struck served a dual purpose: they supported the transport system of the Rostov Region and sustained the enemy’s military logistics," the Special Operations Forces added.
