Ukrainian Long-Range Drones Strike Yaroslavl Oil Refinery

Ukraine launched a significant overnight drone attack on the Yaroslavl oil refinery, one of Russia's largest fuel processing facilities, on August 28. The strike targeted refining units, following a directive from President Zelenskyy to increase long-range drone output to 1,000 strikes per day. Recent attacks have reportedly reduced Russian gasoline production to 70% of domestic consumption, causing fuel shortages in several regions and directly impacting military logistics.
