Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a successful strike on a Russian fuel facility located in the Bryansk region. The attack targeted a critical linearly-operated pumping station in Naytopovichi, which has been supplying diesel fuel to Russian military units operating in occupied territories, General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on August 29.
The facility, which pumps approximately 10.5 million tons of fuel annually through major pipelines, is a part of Russia’s logistical infrastructure, supporting its military operations. The strike involved a coordinated effort by Ukraine’s missile and artillery units, drone systems, special operations forces, and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
Following the strike, a fire was reported at the facility. The exact extent of the damage is still being confirmed, General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine states.
“The defense forces continue to take effective measures to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian army, in particular its logistical capabilities, and to force the invaders to stop their aggressive war against Ukraine,” a statement from the Ukrainian General Staff said.
Previously, it was reported that Russia’s Ust-Luga oil export terminal is set to operate at only around 350,000 barrels per day in September—roughly half its normal capacity—after Ukrainian drone strikes damaged pipeline infrastructure, Reuters reported.
