#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukrainian forces struck infrastructure at the Tikhoretsk oil pumping station in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, one of the largest oil logistics hubs in southern Russia, a source in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said on March 12.
“Today’s strike on the Tikhoretsk oil hub, which is the only supply branch delivering petroleum products to Novorossiysk, delivered a significant blow to the enemy’s oil logistics,” the source said.
The operation was carried out by SBU’s Alfa Special Operations Center and targeted the facility’s infrastructure in the town of Tikhoretsk, according to the source. The site forms part of a major oil hub that includes a large oil depot and terminal used to handle Russian fuel and petroleum products.
The strike caused a large fire at the facility, the source said. Videos circulating online appear to show multiple fires at the site, likely involving fuel storage tanks.
