Another Russian oil facility burns after Zelenskyy touts Ukraine’s drone reach
Ukraine's president claimed his country's latest long-range drone attack hit an oil facility in Russia's Perm region, over 900 miles from Ukraine. Ukrainian forces have escalated their long-distance strike campaign against Russian oil facilities.
Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) said it struck a Russian oil pumping station near Perm city, part of efforts to target Russia's energy infrastructure. The facility, owned by Russia's pipeline operator Transneft, is a key hub in the country's oil transportation system. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed Ukraine was expanding its long-distance strikes, describing it as a new phase in efforts to limit Russia's ability to wage war. Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses intercepted 98 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions and Crimea. The attack came a day after Ukraine struck the Tuapse oil refinery and terminal on the Black Sea for the third time in less than two weeks.
