Ukraine Strikes Three Major Russian Oil and Gas Facilities
Ukrainian long-range drones targeted and struck three vital Russian energy hubs overnight on May 13, 2026: the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal, the Yaroslavl oil refinery, and the Astrakhan gas processing plant. The General Staff of Ukraine confirmed the operation, reporting a significant and ongoing fire at the Gazprom-owned Astrakhan facility. These strategic strikes are part of an intensified campaign to cripple Russian military logistics and fuel exports deep within Russian territory following recent front-line shifts.
