Drones launched by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry reportedly struck the Novoshakhtinsk Oil Refinery, effectively putting its operations to a halt.
The report was confirmed to Ukrinform by a source in Ukraine’s Security and Defense Forces.
"Yes, this report is true," said the source.
As reported earlier, on March 5, Ukraine’s military intelligence said a Ukrainian drone targeted an oil depot in Russia’s Belgorod region.
Overnight Wednesday, March 13, Ukrainian drones have reportedly hit three oil refineries across Russia – in Riazan, Nizhniy Novgorod region, and Leningrad region.
As reported by British intelligence analysts, Russia's oil refining capacity has been temporarily reduced by multiple Ukrainian drone strikes against refineries across Russia, and it will take longer than usual for Russia to restore them amid sanctions.
