Major Assault in Ukraine Aims at Russian Fuel Infrastructure

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian military forces launched strikes on two Russian oil refineries during the night, specifically targeting the Slavyansk facility located in Krasnodar and another facility in Yaroslavl. According to Kyiv, these locations are approximately 300 kilometers from the frontline and about 700 kilometers within Russian territory. Russian authorities reported incidents of fires, compromised power lines, damage to a gas pipeline, and nearby residential areas, resulting in one fatality and one injury. Moscow asserted that 213 drones were intercepted overnight. These attacks reflect Ukraine's ongoing strategy to challenge Russia's energy and military supply chains.
