Summary
Two Project 10410 patrol ships — Balaklava and Kerch — were reportedly damaged in the port of Kerch, where Russia’s FSB coast guard helps protect the Crimean Bridge.
More than 700 kilometers from Ukraine’s border, the same operation hit the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl, one of Russia’s five largest oil plants.
Four RVS-2000 crude tanks were damaged, causing an oil spill; two caught fire, and the ELOU-1 and AVT-3 processing units were also hit, with at least six explosions reported.
The bridge is a key military supply route into occupied Crimea, while the refinery processes nearly 15 million metric tons a year and supplies fuels to central Russia, including Moscow.
