SBU Strikes Angstrem Plant and Moscow Oil Refinery in Deep Raid

(KYIV, UKRAINE) – The Security Service of Ukraine, together with the Defence Forces, struck a military industrial complex enterprise, several oil facilities in the Moscow region, and the Belbek military airfield in occupied Crimea, the SBU confirmed.

Specialists from the SBU’s Alpha Special Operations Centre, operating alongside the Defence Forces of Ukraine, targeted a military industrial complex facility and oil enterprises in the Moscow region. Strikes were also conducted against the infrastructure and air defence systems of the Belbek military airfield in Crimea.

In the Moscow region, the following were hit: the Angstrem plant, which supplies semiconductors for the Russian military industrial complex and is under US sanctions; the Moscow Oil Refinery; the Solnechnogorskaya oil pumping station; and the Volodarskoye oil pumping station.

In Crimea, the infrastructure and air defence assets of the Belbek military airfield were struck. The following were also hit: a Pantsir-S2 anti-aircraft system; a hangar containing a radar for the S-400 system; an Orion UAV control system and a Forpost UAV ground control station; a ground to air data transmission point; and the control tower and a hangar at the Belbek airfield.

The head of the SBU, Yevhen Khmara, stated that such operations are of critical importance for weakening Russia’s military potential.

“Striking military industrial enterprises, military infrastructure, and oil logistics reduces the enemy’s capability to continue the war against Ukraine. These strikes demonstrate that even the most protected Moscow region is not safe. The SBU and the Defence Forces of Ukraine will continue high precision special operations aimed at destroying the enemy’s military resources,” the statement reads.
