Strikes Hit Military and Infrastructure Targets
On September 24 and during the night of September 25, Ukrainian Defense Forces intensified their attacks on critical military and infrastructure sites within Russian territory. Among the main targets were oil refineries and radar installations, highlighting a strategic effort to weaken Russia's military-economic capabilities.
Significant damage was reported at the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery in Perm, where a fire broke out. This facility processes around 13 million tons of crude oil annually and supplies fuel and other petroleum products critical to the Russian Armed Forces. Additionally, a fire was confirmed at the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in the Rostov region, which handles approximately 7.5 million tons of oil per year and plays an essential role in supplying petroleum products in southern Russia, including support for the Russian military.
Attacks on Radar Stations and Additional Infrastructure
Ukrainian forces also struck radar stations 64L6 Gamma-C1 and 39N6 Kasta-2E2 near Novoshakhtinsk. Earlier on September 24, Russian media reported damage caused by drone strikes to the Voronezhsintezkauchuk plant in Voronezh and other industrial sites, including the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery in Perm.
The General Staff of Ukraine affirmed that these strikes on oil processing facilities are part of Ukraine’s right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter. These operations are designed to degrade Russia’s capacity to sustain its military efforts. Ukrainian forces continue to focus on hitting strategic enemy assets that directly affect Russia's warfighting potential.
This escalation reflects Ukraine’s intensified campaign to disrupt vital enemy infrastructure, aiming to reduce Russia’s ability to continue hostilities. Such actions may increase tensions between the two nations and influence future military strategies on both sides. The situation remains highly fluid, with upcoming developments likely to have a significant impact on the trajectory of the conflict.
As the Ukrainian Defense Forces continue their targeted strikes on critical Russian military infrastructure, the situation remains fluid across various fronts.
