According to Ukrinform, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on Facebook that on the night of May 27, units of the Defense Forces struck the Tuapse oil refinery (Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai, Russia).

The Tuapse refinery is one of the largest oil refining facilities in southern Russia. Its processing capacity is about 12 million tons of oil per year. The plant produces fuel, including for the Russian Armed Forces.

In addition, units of the Ukrainian Air Force used air-launched missiles Storm Shadow to strike automated reconnaissance control systems of the Russian Air Force in the areas of Voronezh, Taganrog, and temporarily occupied Sevastopol.

In addition, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck Russian command posts in the areas of the settlements of Tsvitni Pisky and Sorokyne in the Luhansk region.

They also hit a logistics supply warehouse in Sorokyne (Luhansk region) and a UAV production near Azovsk of the Zaporizhzhia region.

Among other targets, a Nebo-SV radar was struck near Kamianka, as well as a command-and-staff vehicle from a Buk-M2 system near Kadiivka in the Luhansk region.

As reported by Ukrinform, port infrastructure and the Tuapse oil refinery were previously damaged in recent strikes by Ukraine’s Defense Forces, with losses exceeding $300 million.
