Ukrainian Drones Strike Russian Oil Refineries and Logistics Hubs in Deep-Strike Operation
In the early hours of July 31, 2026, Ukrainian drones targeted multiple oil refineries and Wildberries logistics facilities within Russia's Volgograd, Tatarstan, and Krasnodar regions. The synchronized strikes caused major fires at these industrial sites, with some targets located more than 1,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This operation marks a significant expansion of Ukraine's asymmetric campaign to disrupt Russian military logistics, energy production, and the domestic economy during the ongoing four-year conflict.
