The strikes hit the Novokuibyshevsk and Syzran oil refineries in Russia's Samara region, the RPK-Vysotsk Lukoil-2 oil loading terminal in the Leningrad region, and the Tikhoretsk oil pumping station in the Krasnodar Krai.
As noted by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, all facilities are involved in providing for the armed forces of the Russian occupiers.
