Ukraine has struck two major Russian oil refineries, a ship-loading area, several vessels, and other military and logistics targets overnight, Ukraine's General Staff said on July 14.
The Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat complex in Russia's Republic of Bashkortostan and the Afipsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai came under Ukrainian attack overnight on July 14, the General Staff said.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said the facility in Bashkortostan was located about 1,300 kilometers (810 miles) from the front line, while the refinery near the village of Afipsky was about 400 kilometers (250 miles) away.
The Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat complex is one of Russia's largest oil refining and petrochemical facilities, with a designed annual processing capacity of about 10 million metric tons of oil, according to the General Staff.
A fire was reported at the facility, and the AVT-6 primary crude oil distillation unit, along with other production facilities at the plant, was damaged, the Special Operations Forces said.
The refinery was previously struck twice by Ukrainian drones in September 2025.
Ukraine also struck the Afipsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai, where a fire was reported near the facility, the statement said. The refinery, which has a designed annual processing capacity of around 6.25 million metric tons of oil, is involved in supplying fuel to the Russian military.
In addition to oil infrastructure, Ukrainian forces targeted Russia's maritime logistics network. The General Staff said a ship-to-ship cargo transfer site near Gelendzhik in Russia's Krasnodar Krai, used to transship Russian oil and support military naval logistics, was struck. Ukrainian forces also hit five oil tankers, five bulk carriers, and a harbor tug in the Sea of Azov.
The extent of the damage to the facilities and vessels is still being assessed, the General Staff added.
Russia's Agriculture Ministry said on July 14 it is working on alternative cargo routes amid repeated Ukrainian strikes on vessels in the Sea of Azov.
Russia's Defense Ministry claimed it shot down 288 Ukrainian drones overnight over Russia, occupied Crimea, and the Azov and Black seas.
