Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, striking significant oil processing complexes and refineries. This marks a strategic campaign aimed at disrupting Russia's oil sector and stirring domestic unrest.
Drones recently targeted facilities in Russia's Bashkortostan and Volgograd regions. The attacks include the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat complex and an oil refinery in Ufa, both subject to repeated strikes. These actions have contributed to gasoline shortages in some Russian regions.
Authorities, such as the head of Bashkortostan and the governor of Volgograd, reported damage assessments and emergency responses, but confirmed no casualties. Russia has condemned these operations as acts of terrorism, while Ukraine remains firm in its efforts against Russian energy exports.
