Ukraine Says It Struck Russian Oil, Gas Infrastructure

KYIV, May 13 (Reuters) – ⁠Ukraine’s ⁠military said on ⁠Wednesday it had struck ​a Russian oil terminal, a refinery ‌and a gas ‌processing plant as Kyiv ⁠renews ⁠attacks on energy infrastructure after a short-lived ​ceasefire.

The Tamanneftegas terminal in the Krasnodar region and gas plant in ​Astrakhan have been attacked, Ukraine’s General ⁠Staff ⁠and drone forces ⁠commander ​Robert Brovdi said on the Telegram app. ​Both ⁠facilities are in southern Russia.

The strikes caused fires at reservoirs, they added.

A refinery in ⁠Yaroslavl, located northeast of Moscow, was also struck, ⁠the General Staff added. Primary oil refinery units were hit, according to the statement.

Ukraine has been targeting Russian oil facilities as Moscow uses revenues generated from its huge ⁠hydrocarbon reserves to finance its war in Ukraine, now in its fifth year.
