Ukraine's Defense Forces said they struck oil infrastructure in two regions of Russia, hitting a refinery in the Volgograd region and an oil blending station in the Samara region, according to a report from Ukrinform.
The strikes are the latest in a series of Ukrainian operations against Russian energy facilities since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022, as Kyiv has sought to disrupt the fuel supplies that support Russia's military operations and economy.
Details on the extent of damage to either facility, and on any casualties, have not been independently confirmed. Russian officials have not yet issued a public response to the reported strikes.
Oil refineries and blending stations are key nodes in Russia's fuel-processing network, feeding both domestic consumption and export markets. Strikes on such facilities have periodically disrupted regional fuel supplies in Russia over the course of the war.
This report will be updated as further details become available.
