Strike Verified: Orsk Refinery and Russian Helicopters Hit

The Ukrainian Defense Forces struck a number of important Russian army targets on April 29 and the night of April 30.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

One of the main targets was the Orsknefteorgsintez oil refinery in the city of Orsk, Orenburg region, of the Russian Federation.

According to the General Staff, a hit and subsequent fire were recorded on the territory of the enterprise. The plant produces gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation kerosene, and other petroleum products and is used to supply the Russian occupation army.

The enterprise’s design capacity is 6.6 million tons of oil per year.

Also, near the settlement of Babky in the Voronezh region, Russian Mi-28 and Mi-17 helicopters were hit.

In addition, the Ukrainian military struck a Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system in the Oleksandrivka area of the Zaporizhzhia region.

The enemy artillery brigade command post in Lysychansk, in the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region, was also hit.

Separately, the Defense Forces struck an ammunition depot in the Kremenivka area in the temporarily occupied part of the Donetsk region and a base for enemy boats in the Black Sea.

The General Staff noted that the extent of the damage is still being determined.

It should be noted that the Security Service of Ukraine reported damage to an oil pumping station near the city of Perm (Russia), more than 1,500 km from Ukraine’s state border.

As a reminder, in April, the fifth oil refinery in Russia was shut down after attacks by Ukrainian drones.
