As part of efforts to reduce the offensive capabilities of the Russian aggressor, on the night of January 7 units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck the Oskolneftesnab oil depot near the settlement of Kotel in Russia’s Belgorod Oblast. The oil depot is involved in supplying fuel to the occupying forces.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

As a result of strikes on storage tanks, a large-scale fire was recorded at the facility.

In addition, in order to disrupt enemy logistics, a material and technical supply warehouse of a unit of the 20th Motorized Rifle Division was hit in temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk Oblast.

The extent of damage in both cases is being clarified.

Furthermore, based on the results of previous strikes, it was established that two vertical RVS-5000 tanks were damaged at the Temp strategic reserve oil depot in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia.

The General Staff emphasizes that the Defense Forces continue to take measures to undermine the offensive and military-economic potential of the Russian occupiers and to force Russia to end its armed aggression against Ukraine.
