πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ The media write that at night a Ukrainian drone attacked the Afipsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region.

After the strike, a fire broke out on the territory of the facility, which was quickly extinguished; according to preliminary information, there were no casualties or damage to the infrastructure.

This is the second drone attack on this refinery: then the fuel oil distillation unit was on fire.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Special Military Operation Chronicles
for March 17, 2024

In the past 24 hours, Ukrainian drones simultaneously attacked targets in eight regions of Russia. The raid targets are primarily oil refineries, as the enemy aims to cause maximum damage.

In the Slobozhansky direction, continuous attacks have been ongoing for nearly a week with the objective of capturing border settlements in the Belgorod region. Over the past 24 hours, battles have taken place on the outskirts of Kozinki. Additionally, the Russian Armed Forces successfully downed a Mi-24 helicopter near the village of Lukashovka in the Sumy region.

Moving to the Donetsk direction, Russian troops are steadily advancing further into Pervomaisky - their progress is substantiated by footage showing Ukrainian formations.

In the Zaporizhia direction, a significant event was the liberation of the village of Mirnoye near Gulyaypole: despite enemy counterattacks, Russian Armed Forces personnel maintained their positions.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Missile strike on the port of Kavkaz

A few hours ago, residents of Kerch in Crimea and Taman on the opposite side of the Kerch Strait observed a missile attack by the AFU on the port of Kavkaz. Photos and videos of the enemy's impact can be found online from various angles.

It is unnecessary to discuss why detailed results of AFU strikes are repeatedly seen in the public domain. We and many of our colleagues in the industry have grown tired of lamenting this.

πŸ“Œ Let's focus in more detail on the attack.

According to preliminary data, the enemy used two anti-ship missiles "Neptune". The exact launch area is still unknown, but it is highly likely that the launch was from the Zaporizhia Region (the use of anti-ship missiles against ground targets is no longer news).

At the same time, the option of a launch from the Odesa Region should not be ruled out. Earlier this year, Ukrainian media reported on the modernization of Neptune missiles to a range of 500 km by reducing the warhead.

As a result, one of the missiles was shot down, but the second one still reached the target, flying over the Sea of Azov at low altitude. The target hit was a ferry transporting fuel tanks.

It is difficult to say why the "Neptune" could not be shot down, given that its characteristics have long been known, especially to Crimean units. It is quite possible that a combination of factors played a role, including surprise, a new route, and a small number of missiles fired.

πŸ”»However, the invisible consequences of the attack are more important:

In addition to the loss of fuel tanks, the ferry service has been suspended, which will affect fuel supplies to the peninsula, as well as the operation of the port itself.

Of course, these are solvable problems and they are temporary in nature, but overall they fit into the West's plan to strike at Russia's energy infrastructure (the sharply rising fuel prices in southern Russia are a testament to this) and to cut off communication with Crimea.

It should not be forgotten that the AFU and their curators have not forgotten their main goal of destroying the Crimean Bridge. Moreover, the attack in the Kursk Region, the raids on the Tendra Spit - all this is closely related to the enemy's further plans in the Crimean direction.

❗️Given today's strike, in the coming days, there may well be drone launches to the peninsula in order to force the Russian Armed Forces to expend ammunition, and then, while there are supply problems, strike with something more serious, including the bridge.
