Ukrainian Drones Strike Lukoil Oil Depot in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai

(UST-LABINSK, KRASNODAR KRAI) – On the night of 6 June, unmanned aerial vehicles attacked an oil depot in the Russian city of Ust-Labinsk, Krasnodar Krai. The facility is supplied by the Lukoil group.

The incident was reported by UNN, citing local social media channels. Details emerging from monitoring reports indicate the target was the Poltava oil depot.

The reports described the site as an active facility for the storage and transshipment of petroleum products with a reservoir capacity of about 15,000 cubic metres. The depot serves road and rail fuel supply routes, with its main suppliers being the refineries of the Lukoil group.

The attack on the Krasnodar Krai facility comes amid a series of confirmed strikes by Ukrainian forces on military and logistics targets within Russian territory. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine previously confirmed successful strikes on the Volgograd Refinery, the Yaroslavl-3 oil pumping station, a Tor-M2 air defence system, a logistics warehouse, and enemy drone control points.

This latest operation follows recent assessments of damage to Russian energy infrastructure. The Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine previously named the scale of destruction at the Russian port of Ust-Luga, stating at least 30 per cent of tanks at the site were damaged. Footage of the Ust-Labinsk incident was circulated by local Russian media sources.
