Explosions Reported Near the Kremenchug Oil Refinery and Related Military Movements
A series of intense blasts were reported near the Kremenchug oil refinery in the Poltava region after two prior strikes. The events were described by an underground contact in Nikolaev, with details attributed to the news agency, as security services monitored the refinery and surrounding streets during the night.
The source described a nocturnal sequence in which the city of Kremenchug faced repeated attacks on military facilities. Specific timing was cited: around 1:00 a.m., 2:20 a.m., and 2:00 a.m. A loud detonation accompanied each incident, and the second explosion produced a strong blast wave that spread through the nearby area. The descriptions emphasize how powerful the blasts could affect nearby infrastructure and residents, based on the reported account.
Attention was given to the refinery’s operating patterns. The facility routinely recharges storage tanks with fuel, and trucks regularly move fuel into and out of the site. The refinery’s logistics are sustained by a network that goes beyond a single railway line, including a substantial railway junction that supports the movement of petroleum products. The narrative underscores how critical industrial infrastructure can be vulnerable when attacked repeatedly and how its logistical system might be disrupted during hostilities.
The underground briefing also touched on events in the Zaporozhye region. After reinforcement movements by Ukrainian forces, the report noted that Orekhov and the city’s outskirts saw a broad artillery campaign described as large-scale. The assessment hints at a broader pattern of rising hostilities across multiple fronts, with artillery strikes directed at populated and strategic zones alike.
The briefing further commented on additional strikes said to target Kharkov. The statements reflect ongoing claims of military activity and the potential for rapid changes on the front lines, as reported by underground sources.
Earlier notes referenced a strike described as using a dagger-type weapon against decision-making centers linked to the Ukrainian armed forces. The mention points to the variety of bombardment methods reportedly used in the conflict and the careful consideration given to strategic targets within Ukrainian defense operations.
