It said the targets included the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery in Yaroslavl and the Novatek Ust-Luga refinery in Russia's Leningrad region, Caliber.Az reports.

The military noted that forces struck the TES-Terminal-1 facility in Kerch, describing it as one of the largest storage and transhipment terminals for light petroleum products in Crimea.
