Ukrainian long-range strikes targeted Russian fuel infrastructure in Stavropol Krai overnight on July 19, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) hit three oil depots and the Armed Forces struck another fuel facility in the region.

Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian oil refineries, fuel depots, logistics hubs, and other infrastructure linked to Russia’s war effort as part of its campaign to disrupt the supply chains supporting Moscow’s military operations.

Russian authorities reported multiple fires in the Stavropol area following the drone attack. The Russian regional governor said there were no casualties, but a local state of emergency was introduced.

Ukraine says it struck three Russian oil depots in Stavropol Krai overnight, causing fires at fuel facilities deep inside Russia.

Fires reported at Russian fuel facilities

Russian Governor Vladimir Vladimirov said two fires broke out in industrial areas of Stavropol Krai – one near the village of Vyazniki in the Shpakovsky district and another in northern Stavropol near the district border.

Videos shared online showed large fires in the area. Russian independent outlet Astra reported that three oil depots may have been affected, based on footage showing a fire near one of several nearby fuel storage facilities.

According to monitoring channel Supernova+, fires were recorded at two oil facilities in the evening of 19 July: the LUKOIL-Yugnefteprodukt oil depot and the Stavropol oil depot operated by Promkhim.

Zelenskyy confirms strikes on Russian energy targets

Later on July 19, Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukrainian forces had targeted Russian fuel infrastructure in the region.

“Ukraine’s long-range sanctions” had reached facilities that “provide and finance Russian aggression,” Zelenskyy said, adding that SBU units struck three oil depots in Stavropol Krai while Ukrainian military units hit another fuel-related facility there.

Zelenskyy also said Ukrainian forces hit three Russian “shadow fleet” tankers in the Black Sea.

He thanked the Ukrainian units carrying out the strikes, saying the operations were intended to increase pressure on Russia and demonstrate the cost of continuing the war.
