Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil and Military Infrastructure in Volgograd and Krasnodar Regions

Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) carried out a series of drone strikes overnight on June 8, targeting Russian energy and military infrastructure in multiple regions, including a key oil transport hub in Volgograd region, a radar station in Krasnodar region, and a fuel depot in occupied Crimea.

According to report on June 8, the Deep Strike units of Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces struck the “Krasny Yar” linear production and dispatch station in Volgograd region, causing a fire at the site.

The facility, located more than 500 kilometers northeast of the Ukrainian border, is owned by Russia’s state pipeline operator Transneft.

The station is a critical node in Russia’s oil transport network, linking pipelines supplying the Volgograd refinery and the Sheskharis export terminal in Novorossiysk via the Kuibyshev–Tikhoretsk pipeline system.

According to SSO, the facility forms part of a wider infrastructure corridor connecting oil flows from the Volga region and Western Siberia to southern Russia, sustained through a network of pumping and dispatch stations.

The second target, the Feodosia maritime oil terminal located roughly 250 kilometers from the front line, includes seven large storage tanks of 10,000 and 20,000 cubic meters. The SSO said the facility is used to transfer petroleum products from rail to sea transport and functions as a reserve fuel supply point for Russian occupation forces in Crimea.

Moreover, a recent drone strike caused a fire at the Grushova industrial tank farm near Russia’s Black Sea port of Novorossiysk overnight on June 7–8..

The facility is part of a transshipment network connected to the Sheskharis terminal operated by Chernomortransneft. It is located in the Grushova Balka area beyond the Markotkh Range, about 12 kilometers from Novorossiysk.
