Ukraine strikes Russian oil terminal in Krasnodar Krai

Ukrainian forces initiated the attack on August 22, resulting in a fire at the site. The General Staff did not specify the weaponry employed. The port's terminals have a combined annual cargo capacity of approximately 6.8 million tons, with over 1 million tons dedicated to petroleum products, the military stated. "The facility is used to supply the Russian army," the General Staff added.

The full extent of the damage at the terminal is currently under assessment. Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported on Telegram that the attack resulted in three fatalities in the Yeysk district, including two children, with another individual hospitalized.

This strike is part of a broader pattern of Ukrainian attacks targeting Russian oil refineries, storage facilities, and fuel logistics hubs. These actions aim to disrupt supplies to the Russian military and diminish revenues from energy exports that fund Moscow's war efforts. In separate incidents on the same day, Ukrainian forces also reportedly struck a Russian oil refinery, a military airfield, and a retail warehouse.
