Oil storage tanks on the facility's grounds were hit. According to the General Staff, the strike sparked a fire at the facility, with several storage tanks catching fire.
This station is one of the key hubs in russia's oil transportation system. Oil flows here via pipelines from Tatarstan, Western Siberia, and other oil-producing regions of russia. The oil is blended at the facility to produce Urals, russia's export-grade crude oil blend, which, according to the SSU, accounts for up to half of the country's oil exports.
The results of the strike on the Lipetsk-2 russian military airfield in the Lipetsk region have also been confirmed. It was attacked on November 13.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the strike hit a hangar used to store specialized equipment for aircraft maintenance, a jet fuel tank, and the airfield's central command and control center.
The SSU continues its systematic efforts to target key russian oil facilities. Such strikes disrupt oil processing and create significant challenges for its transportation and storage. This is yet another blow to one of the russian budget's main sources of revenue, which the Kremlin relies on to finance its war against Ukraine.
