The attack resulted in the loss of 60 tons of oil stored at the Albashneft oil depot. Satellite images published by Radio Liberty confirm the aftermath, showing one storage tank completely destroyed and another damaged. The depot, located on the northwestern outskirts of Novominskoye village, suffered significant losses due to the strike by Ukrainian forces.
Before-and-after satellite images reveal the extent of the destruction. The depot initially had 11 storage tanks—nine larger ones and two smaller ones. In the post-strike image, one of the large tanks is entirely gone, replaced by a blackened void, while a nearby tank appears scorched on one side. The exact timestamps of the images were not disclosed.
