July 13, 2026 [Tank Storage Magazine]- Ukrainian media has confirmed that Taganrog oil terminal and an Ilksy oil refinery in Azov, Rostov region, both situated in Russia, were struck in a drone attack on 10 July.

Preliminary reports show that fuel tanks caught fire at the Kurgannefteprodukt oil terminal in Taganrog, a major target due to its role in storing and transshipping Russian petroleum products onto vessels. Ilsky refinery has a capacity of around 138,000bpd and has been attacked before due to its importance to the Russian fuel market.

Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation, wrote on Telegram: ‘Ilsky refinery, oil infrastructure, the port in Taganrog – the Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to systematically take out Russia’s oil sector, logistics and economy.’
