In the early hours of September 7, Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out coordinated strikes on several strategic energy facilities in Russia, targeting both oil infrastructure and military supply depots, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian military reported that missile and drone units struck the linear production and dispatch station “8-N” near the village of Naytopovychi in Russia’s Bryansk region.
The site is part of the Stalnoy Kon oil pipeline system, which has a throughput capacity of 10.5 million tons annually and plays a role in supplying fuel to Russian forces.

According to the General Staff, the attack caused multiple explosions and fires at the pumping station and adjacent storage facilities.
Separately, Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces hit facilities at the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar region.
The plant processes over 6 million tons of crude oil annually and is used to supply the Russian military. Local authorities confirmed a fire at one of the refinery’s installations after falling drone debris, though they reported no casualties and said workers were evacuated to shelters, ASTRA reported.
Refineries continue to burn all across Putin’s hellscape.
Tonight, it’s in Ilsky, a god-forsaken hell hole just like the rest of Russia.

In addition, Ukrainian forces confirmed successful strikes on Russian military personnel locations and logistics depots in the Kursk region.
Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and known by the call sign “Madyar,” stated that the attack on the “8-N” station was part of ongoing operations against Russian oil transport infrastructure.
In a message posted online, he wrote: “Transneft LVDS ‘8-N’ Naytopovychi (Bryansk region, Russia) — bad evening, we are from Ukraine.”
Brovdi also emphasized the strategic role of the facility in transporting oil products from Belarusian refineries, including Mozyr and Novopolotsk, into Russia.
Following the strikes, regional authorities in Krasnodar confirmed the fire at the Ilsky Refinery and reported that it was quickly contained.
The Druzhba pipeline is one of the largest in the world, with a daily capacity of 2 million barrels, and remains a critical artery for Russian oil exports to European countries such as Hungary and Slovakia.
Earlier, Ukrainian drones struck the Unecha pumping station in Russia’s Bryansk region, a key hub of the Druzhba pipeline that carries crude to Europe. The August 21 attack, confirmed by drone commander Robert Brovdi, marked the second strike on the facility in just over a week.
