Ukraine's Defense Forces struck multiple Russian military targets overnight July 26, including a Chornomornaftogaz facility and a ground relay station controlling Geran and Gerbera attack drones in occupied Crimea. The General Staff confirmed hits on a Chornomornaftogaz site near Vnukove, used since 2014 to support Russian forces' energy needs, and a relay station near Chornomorske that extends drone operational range.

Simultaneously, Ukrainian forces hit a road bridge near Vyselky in occupied Donetsk region used for Russian logistics, a drone storage site near Chervonopopivka, and a personnel concentration area near Purdivka in occupied Luhansk region. The military also confirmed a successful long-range strike on the Tyumen Oil Refinery in western Siberia, over 2,000 km from Ukrainian territory.

The refinery, with an annual capacity of seven million metric tons, produces gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and fuel oil supplying Russia's military-industrial complex. Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, separately reported strikes on six Wildberries logistics facilities across Russia and occupied Crimea, including a fire near a hub in Yekaterinburg, approximately 1,750 km from the border.
