Russians attack petrol station in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast twice

What Happened

Bohdan Kukura, Chairman of the Board of Ukrnafta, said Russian FPV drones twice attacked one of the company's petrol stations in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. He said the facility was damaged but no employees or customers were injured, and that the company was assessing damage and determining the extent of repairs needed. Ukrnafta continues to operate, Kukura said. The claim has not been independently verified. Kukura added that the attack was another example of systematic attacks on civilian infrastructure that people rely on every day. Earlier reports indicated Russia had carried out four new attacks on civilian infrastructure belonging to the Ukrnafta network in a single day, including a drone strike that damaged a petrol station in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district and a hit on a transport infrastructure facility in the Darnytskyi district.

Key Actors

Why It Matters

The attack targets Ukrnafta, Ukraine's largest oil producer, indicating Russian drone operations are reaching fuel-distribution points in central-eastern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, not only front-line or Kyiv areas. Strikes on civilian petrol stations can disrupt fuel supply, threaten employees and customers, and add to the cumulative damage to Ukraine's energy and civilian infrastructure. The company's plans to install concrete shelters and connect stations to the military's air threat awareness system in Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast reflect a broader effort to protect civilian fuel infrastructure amid repeated drone attacks.

Watch For

Ukrnafta's damage assessment and repair timeline; completion of concrete shelters at 13 Ukrnafta stations in densely populated areas of Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast; further Russian FPV drone attacks on Ukrnafta or other fuel infrastructure in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast and Kyiv Oblast; and any casualty updates or official Ukrainian government statements on the attack.
