Ukrainian forces launched long-range Flamingo missiles and other domestically produced systems overnight at Russian oil facilities, including the Morskoy Neftyanoy terminal in Crimea and an oil depot in Zaporizhzhia, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.
The general staff added that the strikes also hit a helicopter parking area, UAV storage and preparation sites at Kirovske airfield, and a radar air defense station near Yevpatoria. Forward command posts of the Russian 5th Combined Arms Army and the 127th Motorized Rifle Division in Zaporizhzhia were also targeted.

“To carry out comprehensive strikes, strike UAVs, loitering munitions, and missiles of various types are used. Last night, multiple long-range systems were launched, including domestic developments ‘Flamingo,’ ‘Bars,’ and ‘Lyutyi,’” the general staff said.
The Flamingo FP‑5 missile can carry a warhead weighing over one tonne and reach targets more than 3,000 kilometres inside Russia.
Meanwhile, Oryol Oblast Governor Andrey Klychkov said Ukraine’s overnight missile strikes also hit the Russian city of Oryol, damaging several cars and breaking windows in apartment buildings and private homes.

The recent strikes come amid fierce fighting in southern Zaporizhzhia, where Russian forces seized three settlements as Ukrainian troops pulled back from key positions.
The news came shortly after Ukraine reported that Russian forces, taking advantage of foggy weather conditions, had made advances in Pokrovsk, eastern Donetsk.
On Thursday, Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine’s top commander, said Ukrainian forces are working to regain control of key areas in Pokrovsk, protect supply and evacuation lines, and establish new ones.
