⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🛢 Strike on Oil Refinery in Kirovograd Region⚡️

According to our information, the RF armed forces carried out a missile attack on an oil refinery of the Kirovograd Oil Company near #Shestakovka village this morning (16 Feb).

A large fire broke out on the spot. Judging by the large cloud of thick black smoke, the munition hit the fuel tanks stored there. This indicates that the facility was operational at the time of the attack.

Coordinates: 48.5190457, 31.9640129

Interestingly, even before the SMO, this refinery was featured in corruption scandals. Ukrainian law enforcement authorities accused its owners of illegal refining of oil from deposits in #Chernigov region with subsequent sale bypassing taxes and excise duties.

It was these small, semi-legal refineries that partly helped the Kiev authorities cushion the impact of the Russian strikes on oil depots in the spring and avoid severe fuel shortages with reduced deliveries of fuel and lubricants to Ukrainian formations.

Several facilities, including the 330 kV #Kremenchuk power substation and the oil refinery in the village of #Shestakovka in #Kirovograd region were damaged.

🔹#Belgorod Region:

▪️ Ukrainian terrorist troops shelled the villages of #Ustinka and #Voznesenovka. Power lines, a gas pipeline and residential buildings were hit and one person was injured.

🔹#Soledar (#Bakhmut) Direction (MAP):

▪️ The Wagner PMCs are fighting directly in #Paraskoviyevka. The heaviest fighting is taking place in the southern part of the village. Nevertheless, the enemy is drawing up reserves and not allowing the front to collapse in this area, gnawing into every house.
The Wagner assault squads managed to gain a foothold on the #Bakhmut - #Slavyansk highway and also advance in the direction of #Orekhovo - #Vasilevka and #Berkhovka, approaching close to #Zaliznyanskoye.
Near Berkhovka itself, the “Wagnerians” are fighting for the dominant heights on the outskirts of the settlement. Advancement in this area will allow blocking the AFU in #Paraskoviyevka, so the enemy is transferring reinforcements to the area to stabilize the front.
