Ukraine Sinks Russian Container Ship and Strikes Ufa Refineries
Ukrainian naval drones sank the Rosatom-affiliated container ship Yanina 130 miles from Novorossiysk, marking a major success against sanctioned Russian maritime logistics. Simultaneously, SBU long-range drones struck three massive oil refineries in Ufa, Bashkortostan—located 1,600 kilometers from the border—and four radar stations in the Krasnodar region. President Zelenskyy confirmed the operations, stating that Ukraine is systematically targeting Russian infrastructure that sustains the war effort and bringing the conflict back to Russian territory.
