Ukrainian drones pound Russian oil facilities 17 times in August

In August, units of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces, carried out 17 strikes on Russian oil refining infrastructure.

Major Robert Brovdi, Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, reported this, according to Ukrinform.

Targets hit included oil refineries, fuel and lubricant depots, and oil pumping stations. Some facilities were struck twice during the month.

The refineries produce petroleum products for the Russian military — gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and kerosene. The strikes are aimed at reducing the enemy’s offensive potential and complicating its fuel logistics.

Brovdi noted that the 14th Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces and the Hraf group took part in the operations against Russian refineries.
