Ukraine strikes oil hub in Russia's Krasnodar Krai, sparking fires
Ukrainian forces reportedly hit the Tikhoretsk oil pumping station in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, a major oil logistics hub near the Black Sea; residents posted photos/videos of large flames, but The Kyiv Independent could not immediately verify the reports. The strike follows a recent SBU operation against the same facility and fits Kyiv’s broader pattern of targeting Russian oil infrastructure.
