Quote from Kukura: "Yet another Russian attack on Ukrnafta's civilian infrastructure – this time in Odesa Oblast. An enemy drone hit an Ukrnafta petrol station."

Details: The petrol station sustained serious damage as a result of the strike: the main building and canopy were effectively destroyed and equipment was seriously damaged. No one was injured.

Quote: "Russia continues to attack civilian facilities that provide vital functions for communities. Strikes like this have nothing to do with military targets. This is terror against the civilian population."

More details: Kukura added that Ukrnafta repairs damaged facilities wherever possible and ensures the network continues to operate.

Ukrnafta's network comprises 662 petrol stations in almost all regions of Ukraine. Naftogaz of Ukraine owns 50% + 1 of the company's shares.
