Ukraine's military hit a Russian oil refinery in Krasnodar region and an oil terminal in the port of Novorossiysk, it said on Tuesday.

Kyiv's forces have stepped up long-range attacks on Russian targets, particularly oil facilities, as fighting between the two countries grinds toward its four-year mark.

In a statement on Telegram, the General Staff said that devices for loading and unloading oil onto tankers were hit. It also said a Russian A-60 reconnaissance aircraft was struck during an attack on the Beriev military plant.

Separately, an official from Ukraine's SBU domestic security service said the attack damaged a large landing vessel that had been moored near the pier of a naval base in Novorossiysk.
