As a result of a joint operation of the Main Intelligence Agency (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, an oil depot in Rostov region (RF) was hit with the help of Ukrainian-made attack UAVs.

As a source in the GUR told Interfax-Ukraine, the affected facility is part of the Russian military-industrial complex and is directly involved in providing enemy troops. The exact results of the operation are still being clarified.

Federal state-owned institution Atlas Combine of the Federal Agency for State Reserves in the Southern Federal District specializes in the supply of petroleum products for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

It is noted in the Russian media that in August 2020, joint exercises of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Federal Reserve took place at the plant as part of the Caucasus 2020 exercises.

In demonstration exercises on the release of petroleum products for the needs of the army, three methods were practiced - automobile, railway and pipeline.
