  • Four Russian attacks struck Ukrnafta facilities in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk oblasts over a 24-hour period.
  • The strikes caused fires and damaged equipment, storage facilities, buildings and a petrol-station canopy.
  • No one was injured, while an earlier September 2 strike in Odesa Oblast destroyed a building and significantly damaged equipment.

Russia carried out four attacks on civilian infrastructure belonging to Ukrnafta, Ukraine’s largest oil producer, over 24 hours, according to Ukrnafta CEO Bohdan Kukura.

A Russian drone struck an Ukrnafta facility in Kyiv Oblast on the evening of September 5, causing a fire and significant equipment damage. Around midnight, drones hit a petrol station storage facility in Zaporizhzhia, damaging its main buildings.

Another overnight strike in Zaporizhzhia damaged equipment and a canopy at a second petrol station. Debris from downed drones also started a grass fire. On Sunday morning, an Ukrnafta petrol station in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast came under attack.

No one was injured in any of the four incidents. Kukura published photographs showing the aftermath. The report also recalled that Russian forces struck an Ukrnafta petrol station complex in Odesa Oblast on September 2, destroying the building in the resulting explosion and significantly damaging equipment.
