Ukrainian Drone Strikes Target Multiple Russian Oil and Tech Facilities
What happened
Ukraine struck several Russian oil facilities, including the Ukhta oil-processing plant belonging to Lukoil and the Omsk refinery, which is Russia's largest. Earlier in the week, Ukrainian drones targeted Gazprom PJSC processing facilities in Salavat and the Astrakhan gas-processing plant. The strikes have cut Russian oil product output, resulting in fuel rationing and a temporary ban by Moscow on exporting most diesel, jet fuel, and gasoline. Additionally, Ukraine attacked key data centers owned by Yandex in the past two days.
