Special Operations Forces (SSO) carried out Kyiv’s deepest strike during Russia’s full-scale invasion on the Novy Urengoy Gas Condensate Treatment Plant in northwest Siberia.
“Until today, this area was considered completely safe territory for the aggressor,” the SSO posted.
The Nova Urengoy facility processes 19.5 million tons of crude oil and natural gas annually, with diesel fuel and other petroleum products for Russia’s military. The record-breaking Ukrainian strikes also targeted the nearby Purovsky Gas Condensate Processing Plant.
A Ukrainian statement described the two plants as “crucial for the gas condensate industry….Previously, this was considered an absolutely safe area away from the front for the aggressor.”
Ukrainian weapons manufacturer Fire Point said its FP-1 drone was used. Footage from residents showed fires and smoke billowing from Novy Urengoy, with the release of excess gas through flare stacks to prevent further explosions.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky posted:
Thank you for this accuracy and long-range capability! It is important that we respond to Russia’s war in a completely justified way – and in a way the enemy can truly feel. Every such strike reduces Russia’s ability to delay the decisions needed for diplomacy. https://t.co/kakZluAowY
