Two Ukrainian attack drones struck the Volgograd oil refinery, the largest in southern Russia, in a series of long-range attacks on Russian oil facilities. The operation, attributed to the SBU security service, targeted the primary processing facility, threatening significant production capacity. While local authorities confirmed a fire had been extinguished, owner Lukoil had no immediate comment. Ukrainian officials, though seldom claiming responsibility publicly, view such strikes as vital in impeding the Kremlin's war effort. With distances exceeding 600km between Ukrainian and Russian cities, such attacks highlight Ukraine's efforts to counter Moscow's military prowess. Amidst escalating conflict, Ukraine continues to innovate in drone technology to retaliate effectively.
