On Friday, Ukrainian drones attempted to attack an industrial facility in Orsk, near Russia's border with Kazakhstan, according to the Orenburg region's governor, Yevgeny Solntsev. While there were no casualties, emergency services responded to the scene as operations at the facility continued.
Unverified footage shared on Telegram appeared to show a strike on the Orsknefteorgsintez oil refinery. This incident is part of Ukraine's escalating campaign against Russian refineries over the past two months, aimed at disrupting petrol supplies and financially destabilizing Moscow.
The increasing drone activity highlights the ongoing tension in the region, as both nations continue to engage in strategic maneuvers affecting energy and security dynamics.
