Ukraine has struck four valuable Russian targets. The Ryazan Oil Refinery in Russia, the “Nebo-U” radar station in temporarily occupied Crimea, a military echelon near Tokmak in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and a troop concentration near Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast came under fire, Ukraine's General Staff reports.
Molten metal and explosive waves at the Ryazan refinery
The Ryazan Oil Refinery produces A-92/95/98/100 gasoline, diesel, TS-1 aviation fuel, and other petroleum products. It is the country’s fourth-largest oil processing plant.
“The products of this enterprise are used by the Aerospace Forces of the Russian military,” the General Staff emphasized.
Following the strike, multiple explosions and a significant fire were reported.
The refinery also temporarily halted operations in January and February following earlier attacks.
The Ryazan refinery, owned by the Russian state-controlled oil company Rosneft, processed 13.1 million metric tons of crude in 2024. That year, it produced 2.3 million tons of gasoline, 3.4 million tons of diesel, and 4.2 million tons of fuel oil.
Nebo-U can no longer monitor from Crimea
The “Nebo-U” radar station in temporarily occupied Crimea was also hit, significantly limiting Russia's ability to observe and manage military operations in the southern direction.
The Nebo‑U radar system can detect fighter aircraft at a distance of more than 400 km when targets fly at an altitude of 20 km. For lower-flying objects, the range is 65 km.
Precise strikes on echelons and enemy concentrations in Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv oblasts
A military echelon in the Tokmak area of Zaporizhzhia Oblast and a concentration of Russian personnel near Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast were also struck.
These strikes are part of comprehensive measures by Ukrainian forces to weaken Russia’s capability to conduct missile and bomb attacks on Ukrainian territory.
