Ukraine has intensified its pressure on Russia with a series of drone strikes targeting critical oil refineries and military drone bases, according to Kyiv. The Saturday attacks have caused new disruptions in Russia’s economic and military sectors, raising concerns about escalating tensions between the two countries.

In a statement shared on Telegram, Ukraine’s military confirmed that the strikes targeted an important oil refinery located in Riazansk, approximately 180 kilometers southeast of Moscow. The attack resulted in a fire and disrupted the refinery’s operations. Additionally, Ukraine claimed responsibility for an attack on a storage facility in the Voronozh region’s Ananeftedoruk, though details about the exact nature of these strikes remain unclear.

Experts note that Ukraine has become increasingly skilled in deploying drones and long-range attack capabilities, significantly impacting Russian infrastructure. The recent strikes mark a notable escalation in the ongoing conflict, highlighting Kyiv’s evolving military strategy and technological proficiency.

As of now, there has been no official comment from Moscow regarding the damage, or the extent of the disruptions caused by these attacks. The international community continues to closely monitor the situation amid fears that such strikes could lead to further escalation in the conflict. The recent drone assaults underscore Ukraine’s growing ability to target critical assets deep within Russian territory, adding a new dimension to the ongoing hostilities.
