Ukrainian Drone Swarms Ignite Major Fire at Rostov Oil Refinery
Ukraine launched an overnight drone campaign targeting Russian energy infrastructure, including ports on the Sea of Azov and a major oil refinery in the Rostov region. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported downing over 80 drones across the country, with 36 intercepted over Rostov alone. The strikes have exacerbated ongoing gasoline shortages in Russia, which Ukrainian officials state are part of a 'well-executed campaign' to isolate Crimea and degrade the revenue providing for the Russian war machine.
