A tank farm and sections of the main pipelines at the Tamanneftegaz marine terminal in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai were damaged on the night of August 20, setting off a large-scale fire. Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, known as HUR, said its operators carried out the strike together with other parts of the Security and Defense Forces. HUR described the terminal as a supplier to the Russian occupation army.
The same night, HUR reported a second operation against two airfields. One is in temporarily occupied Donetsk. The other is at Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia.
At both, according to intelligence, operators hit sites used to store and launch attack drones. HUR said Russian forces had regularly flown drones from those locations against civilian facilities in Ukraine. The strikes damaged ground elements of the drone systems and launchers, and fires broke out where they landed.
At Primorsko-Akhtarsk, operators also tracked down and hit two radar stations in the airfield area. HUR called them high-value targets and named the models as the 55Zh6U Nebo-U and the 55Zh6UM Niobiy.
A growing deep-strike campaign
The report, from the Ukrainian outlet RBC-Ukraine, says the Defense Forces are steadily increasing long-range attacks on military and fuel facilities deep inside Russia. By its count, Deep Strike assets hit 697 targets in Russia in the first half of 2026 alone. It also says they knocked out a record 43% of Russian oil refinery capacity.
The outlet adds that the attacks have paralyzed operations at a number of Russian Black Sea ports, which Russia uses to export oil and grain. The figures and the account of the August 20 strikes come from Ukrainian intelligence, and the report does not include a Russian response.
