Ukrainian Forces Strike Oil Refinery in Yaroslavl and Ship in Kerch

On July 16 and 17, 2026, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck key military and economic targets in Russia. The main objective was to reduce the military-economic potential of the aggressor. One of the key targets was the "Slavneft-Yanos" oil refinery in Yaroslavl, which processes about 15 million tons of oil per year. A hit was recorded at the plant, resulting in a fire, and the extent of the damage is being clarified. Ukrainian forces also attacked Russian facilities in Crimea and in the occupied territories. In Kerch, the patrol ship "Svetlyak," used for patrolling, was hit. Two tankers and a tugboat in the Black and Azov Seas were also struck, along with the oil terminal "TES-Terminal-1" in Kerch and the oil depot "Shakhtyorsk" in the Donetsk region. To disrupt the enemy's logistics, the railway bridge over the Kalmius River and the road bridge in the Kursk region were attacked. The destruction of material and technical means of the occupiers near Pokrovsk and a command-observation point in the Donetsk region has also been confirmed. It is worth noting that overnight, Ukraine attacked 17 Russian oil tankers and two gas carriers in the Black Sea.
