Ukraine launched another major overnight strike on Russia’s second-largest oil refinery, marking the latest in a series of repeated attacks on the facility. The assault also targeted an airfield and a drone launch site, according to reports.
The refinery has been hit multiple times since the start of the full-scale war. Ukraine has focused on infrastructure that supports Russia’s military and economy, aiming to disrupt fuel supplies and logistics.
The overnight operation underscores Kyiv’s continued strategy of striking deep inside Russian territory. The extent of the damage has not been fully confirmed, and Russian authorities have not yet issued an official statement.
The attack comes as both sides escalate aerial operations, with Ukraine seeking to reduce Russia’s ability to sustain its war effort. Further details are expected as assessments of the damage continue.
