Ukraine Obliterates Russian Fuel Hub With Precision Drone Strike in Occupied Luhansk, Video

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SOF) have carried out precision drone strikes on a Russian fuel storage site and oil facility located on occupied territory in Ukraine’s Luhansk region, the SOF Command reported on October 27.

According to the official statement, the operation was conducted overnight and targeted logistical infrastructure used to supply Russian front-line units.

Ukrainian drones struck the facilities at a moment when the fuel tanks were fully loaded, triggering a series of explosions and large-scale fires.

The resulting damage has reportedly disrupted Russian fuel distribution along key supply routes in the area.

The SOF said the operation was part of Ukraine’s broader campaign of asymmetric warfare aimed at weakening Russia’s logistical capabilities and reducing its offensive potential.

“The Special Operations Forces continue to deliver asymmetric strikes on enemy rear infrastructure to accelerate the degradation of its offensive capabilities,” the Command said in a statement.

Recent deliveries of Ukrainian-made “Blyskavka” strike drones—developed by Vyriy Drone and capable of carrying up to nine kilograms of payload over a 40-kilometer range—have enhanced Ukraine’s deep-strike capabilities.

Earlier, Ukraine conducted a long-range drone strike on Russia’s fourth-largest oil refinery in Ryazan, forcing the shutdown of its main crude distillation unit, according to Reuters on October 24. The attack caused a fire and temporarily halted several key processing facilities, though no casualties were reported.
