Background

Ukraine's Special Operations Forces Deep Strike units hit the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat petrochemical complex in Bashkortostan overnight on 13-14 July 2026, reported as the first strike on that facility.

Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat is one of Russia's largest oil refining and petrochemical complexes, sited in the Republic of Bashkortostan. It is a distinct company from Gazprom Neft, Gazprom's separate oil-production Arm, and its output spans chemicals and refined petroleum products rather than a conventional refinery operation alone.

The strike follows a run of Ukrainian deep strikes reaching progressively further into Russian territory, including hits on the Omsk refinery (2,500km from Ukraine) and the Slavneft-YANOS complex in Yaroslavl earlier in July, part of a sustained campaign against the refining and petrochemical infrastructure that underpins Russia's war economy.
