Ukrainian forces carried out a series of high-precision strikes on key Russian military-industrial facilities overnight on November 25, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.
According to the military, the operation involved Missile Forces and Artillery units working in coordination with Special Operations Forces, Naval coastal missile units, and the Unmanned Systems Forces. Ukrainian defenders used “Bars” strike UAVs and “Neptune” cruise missiles.
In Taganrog, Rostov region, strikes hit the Beriev Aircraft Company (TANTK named after G.M. Beriev) and the “Molniya” (“Atlant Aero”) drone-production facility. Multiple explosions and large fires were observed at the sites.
The General Staff reports that the attack on the Beriev plant likely damaged an experimental A-60 aircraft. The facility also services and upgrades A-50 airborne early-warning aircraft and Tu-95MS strategic bombers.
Additionally, Ukrainian forces successfully struck the “Sheskharis” oil terminal in Novorossiysk and the Tuapse oil refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar region. Preliminary data indicate damage to oil loading infrastructure (oil loading/unloading devices) and a launch unit of an S-400 air-defense system in Novorossiysk.
The extent of the damage is being assessed.
The General Staff stressed that the coordinated combat efforts of all components of Ukraine’s Defense Forces against critical Russian military targets will continue until Russia’s armed aggression is fully stopped.
