Ukraine has struck two major Russian oil refineries, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed Saturday. The targets were facilities in the Krasnodar Krai region and Yaroslavl region.
The Slavyansk-on-Kuban refinery suffered a fire caused by drone debris. No injuries were reported. This action is part of a sustained Ukrainian campaign to degrade Russia's energy infrastructure and revenue.
The impact is already visible in Russian-occupied Crimea, where strikes have triggered a fuel crisis with long lines at petrol stations. On the defense, Ukraine's air force reported shooting down six Russian ballistic missiles and 125 drones overnight.
President Zelenskyy stated Russia launched over 1,400 attack drones, nearly 1,500 guided bombs, and 19 missiles against Ukraine in the past week alone.
