Ukraine Drones Strike Russian Oil Refinery and Logistics Hub
Ukrainian long-range drones targeted Russia's Afipsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region and a Wildberries logistics mega-warehouse in Kotovsk, Tambov region, overnight. The strike on the Afipsky refinery caused a significant fire, according to the Ukrainian General Staff, and is part of a continued campaign to disrupt Russian domestic fuel production. This coincides with reports of Russia extending its diesel export ban through September due to refinery damage and domestic fuel shortages.
