1,700 kilometers from Ukraine – a new record for the range of destruction, SBU drones hit an important refinery for the Russian army in Ukhta.
Ukrainian drones attacked the Ukhta refinery in northern Russia, which supplies oil products for the enemy’s army.
This was reported by the Telegram of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and sources in the SBU, informs the portal PromPolitInform.
“Long-range drones of the Center for Special Operations “Alpha” of the SBU attacked the Ukhta refinery, which is located in the Komi Republic, 1750 kilometers from our border,” the SBU noted.
The blow to the Ukhta refinery is a new record of the range of destruction for Ukrainian-made drones.
After hits at the refinery, a fire and heavy smoke began. Previously, the atmospheric-vacuum tubular installation and the visbreaking installation were damaged.
