On August 13, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the Unecha oil pumping station in the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation. The facility provides oil transportation for two oil pipelines simultaneously and can pump 60 million tons of raw materials per year. Unecha is a key hub of the Druzhba pipeline, which transports Russian oil for export.
The aggressor state also reported that on the same night, Ukrainian drones hit a refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban in the Krasnodar Territory. In addition, the Russian Air Defense announced the destruction of 11 drones over the Volgograd region, where another attack on a refinery was reported. And the day before, long-range drones deployed by the Security Service of Ukraine again (a previous attack took place on August 9) hit a logistics hub in the Russian Tatarstan (1,300 kilometers from Ukraine), where ready-to-use Shaheds are stored, as well as foreign-made components for them.
SBU head Vasyl Malyuk said that over the course of the entire war, SBU units have hit more than 200 objects deep inside Russia.
