The target was the LUCOIL-Uhtan Oil Refinery, located more than two thousand kilometers from Ukraine’s borders.
This action marks a significant step in Ukraine’s efforts to counter Russian military infrastructure, as the plant is a crucial supplier of fuel and lubricants to the occupation forces, supporting their logistical needs.
