Long-range drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) Alpha Special Operations Center struck the Temp oil depot in the city of Rybinsk, Yaroslavl region of the Russian Federation, early this morning. The facility is part of Russia's Rosrezerv system and is intended for storing large volumes of fuel.

An SBU source told this to Ukrinform.

Video provided by the source shows a large-scale fire breaking out at the site after the drone strikes.

"With surgical precision, the SBU continues to cut Russia's supply chains for petroleum products, both for export and for the troops attacking Ukraine. This systematic work will continue in 2026 as well," a well-informed SBU source said.

The city of Rybinsk is a major transit and logistics hub, while the Temp oil depot itself is an important link in the storage and distribution of petroleum products in Russia's northeastern region.

Earlier reports said that Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces struck a number of military and infrastructure facilities in the temporarily occupied territories of the Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as in Crimea.
