Representative of the Main Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR), Andriy Yusov, has said that a fire in the town of Novoshakhtinsk in Rostov region of the Russian Federation is taking place at a military facility involved in providing support to the Russian occupation group.

"A series of events is taking place at the military facilities of the aggressor state. Despite the fact that we are talking about the alleged Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery, but this is a military facility that is used to supply and support the occupation group in Ukraine," Yusov said on the air of the National Telethon on Wednesday.

"The work of the enterprise is currently stopped, and this means that there will be problems and disruptions of certain plans from the enemy, and additional opportunities and time for our defenders," he added, noting that the facility was attacked by unknown Ukrainian-made aircraft and could not comment on this information in more detail.
