Drones from the "Alpha" Special Operations Center of the Security Service of Ukraine struck the Russian "Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez" oil refinery, located more than 1,500 km from Ukraine. This was reported by UNN with reference to the SBU.
Details
According to preliminary data, the AVT-4 unit, which is a key node for primary oil refining, was hit. Vacuum and atmospheric distillation columns also caught fire - effectively, they have been put out of commission.
The "Perm" linear production and dispatch station, which ensures oil supply to the "Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez" refinery, was also struck. This is the second strike on the station: it was already hit by drones yesterday.
The SBU noted that Russians must realize a simple thing: they no longer have a "safe rear."
Remoteness no longer guarantees protection - every region where enterprises work for the war against Ukraine is reachable. The SBU has already demonstrated the ability to conduct successful long-range strikes and will continue to systematically hit such facilities
