The Security Service of Ukraine struck the Vtorovo line production and dispatch station in Russia’s Vladimir region for the second time in June, the SBU reported.
The strike on the facility was carried out by SBU Alpha unit fighters as part of a 40-day operation aimed at exerting pressure on Russia.
The Vtorovo station is part of Transneft–Upper Volga JSC and is a key logistics hub for pumping light petroleum products to export ports and domestic consumers.
Diesel fuel is transported through the station to the Moscow ring petroleum products pipeline and from there to major oil depots around Moscow.
The station also supports exports of petroleum products through Baltic Sea ports.
According to preliminary information, SBU drones hit the facility’s technical buildings, after which a detonation occurred.
The previous SBU drone attack on Vtorovo took place on June 10 this year.
