Russia has reported a large-scale overnight drone assault by Ukraine targeting several oil-related facilities, including refineries, storage sites and export terminals across different regions of the country.
According to Russian officials, the attacks triggered fires at multiple locations and forced emergency crews to respond to damage at key energy installations. The strikes are seen as part of Ukraine's continuing effort to disrupt Russia's energy infrastructure, a sector considered vital to Moscow's economy and military operations.
The latest wave of attacks comes as Russia's fuel industry faces growing challenges from repeated disruptions to refining and transportation networks. Analysts warn that continued pressure on energy facilities could affect fuel supplies and increase strain on domestic markets.
Ukraine has increasingly relied on long-range drone operations to reach strategic targets deep inside Russian territory, aiming to reduce Russia's logistical and economic capabilities as the conflict enters another prolonged phase.
With both sides expanding attacks beyond frontline positions, energy infrastructure has emerged as one of the central battlegrounds in the ongoing war.
