Summary
SBU drones struck the Vtorovo oil pumping station in Russia’s Vladimir region, hitting technical buildings and triggering detonations in the second reported attack on the facility this month.
The Transneft-Upper Volga site is a key node for refined products, pumping diesel into the Moscow Ring Oil Product Pipeline and supporting exports through Baltic Sea ports.
SBU said the strike was part of a 40-day operation approved by President Volodymyr Zelensky to pressure Russia into ending the war by damaging logistics and air-defense capacity.
That campaign already includes attacks in occupied Crimea, where Ukrainian forces said they targeted an S-400 system and the Zaliv shipyard, setting fires on two Project 15310 cable-laying ships and a ferry.
