Not Only ‘Neptune’: AFU General Staff Reveales Details Of Strike On Oil Terminal In ‘Kavkaz’ Port

Another important target was hit.

On the night of May 31, the Defence Forces hit oil terminals in Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation, and the ferry crossing of the ‘Kavkaz’ port was also put out of action. A strike group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' naval forces grouping, in co-operation with other units of the Defence Forces, worked precisely against targets on Russian territory.

The Neptun coastal complex and attack drones were used to hit the targets. This was stated by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

One of the affected oil terminals is located in the Kavkaz port.

‘The strike group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Navy hit the ferry crossing and oil terminal of the “Kavkaz” port, which is located in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation. This happened at the beginning of the day on May 31 - the next night after the Ukrainian Defence Forces put out of operation by precise strikes the ferries of the Kerch ferry crossing on the territory of occupied Ukrainian Crimea, which were running to the Kavkaz port and were used for the aggressor's military logistics,’ the statement said.

The General Staff added that the attack on the oil terminal in the area of the ‘Kavkaz’ port was carried out by several Ukrainian-made missiles from the Neptun coastal missile system.

‘The results of objective control confirm the explosions at the targeting sites. The accuracy of hitting the targets is being verified further. The complex operation was carried out in coordination with other units of the Ukrainian Defence Forces,’ the General Staff said.

Defence Force strike UAVs also hit another oil terminal on the territory of Krasnodar region.

‘The “modern” and “effective” Russian air defence was again powerless against our missiles and unmanned systems and failed to protect important facilities used for logistics and supplying the Russian army,’ the General Staff summed up.
