While Russian forces continue to attack civilian areas in Donbas and Kyiv, Ukraine has struck back at key logistical targets inside Russian territory, including a strategic fuel facility in the Bryansk region that supplies diesel to Russian troops.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the facility, which pumps diesel fuel through main pipelines for the needs of the Russian army. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook later Friday afternoon, Aug. 29. According to the report, the station’s pumping capacity is about 10.5 million tons per year.
Video reportedly shows the strike on the facility. The General Staff does not specify the means of destruction but states that it was carried out through combined actions of artillery, drones, and Special Operations Forces.
As a reminder, in the last two days, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck 17 Russian air defense systems and equipment. Several large oil refineries were also hit.
