Ukraine struck fuel and lubricant storage tanks at the Yeysk oil terminal complex in southern Russia's Krasnodar Krai in an attack on Aug. 22, the General Staff reported.
The complex is a key part of infrastructure at the Yeysk seaport, used to receive, store, and load petroleum products for maritime transport, the military said. Ukrainian forces attacked the facility on Aug. 22, causing a fire at the site. The General Staff did not specify which weapons were used in the attack.
The port's terminals can handle about 6.8 million tons of cargo annually, including more than 1 million tons of petroleum products, according to the General Staff.
"The facility is used to supply the Russian army," the military said.
The extent of damage at the terminal is still being assessed.
Krasnodar Krai Governor Veniamin Kondratyev reported on Telegram that three people, including two children, were killed in the Yeysk district during the attack, while another remains hospitalized.
Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian oil refineries, storage facilities, and fuel logistics hubs to disrupt supplies to the Russian military and reduce revenues derived from energy exports that help finance Moscow's war.
In separate strikes on Aug. 22, Ukrainian forces also hit a Russian oil refinery, military airfield, and retail warehouse.
