Attack on oil depots in Tambov region and Adygea was an SBU operation: details emerge

On the night of June 20, SBU special forces hit the fuel and lubricants warehouse of Tambovnefteprodukt JSC and the Enemskaya oil depot of LUKOIL-Yugnefteprodukt LLC. As a result of the drone attack, fires broke out at both facilities.

OBOZ.UA learned about this from its informed sources. It is known that at the affected facilities, the Russians processed and stored raw materials and finished products, which were subsequently used for the needs of the Russian army.

"The SBU's strikes on companies that work for the Russian military-industrial complex reduce the resources with which the enemy can wage war and force the aggressor country to spend money on infrastructure restoration. This is an additional burden on the Russian budget, which is already burdened by sanctions and other economic challenges. The service will continue to work in this direction," the source said.

In total, SBU drones have already carried out nearly three dozen successful attacks on Russian oil facilities in various regions.

The fire that broke out at the Platonovsk oil depot in the Tambov region of Russia as a result of a drone attack on the morning of June 20 was recorded by Planet.com satellite images, Radio Liberty reports.

Last night, Russia complained that at least three Ukrainian kamikaze drones had struck oil refineries. In particular, the Platonovsk oil depot in the Tambov region was hit by drones. The attack started a fire. Emergency services are trying to eliminate the fire.

"This morning, a tank exploded and caught fire on the territory of the Platonovskoye oil depot in the Rozpovetovsky municipal district of the Tambov region. The incident was probably caused by a UAV. There were no casualties," said Tambov Region Governor Maxim Yegorov.
