At Least 2 Killed as Ukraine Strikes Industrial Sites Across Russia
The strikes triggered fires at both facilities as Ukraine targets Russian fuel and air-defense infrastructure, officials said.
- On Friday, Ukraine's General Staff confirmed strikes on two Russian oil refineries and a radar station, with one facility in the Rostov region suspending operations after the overnight drone attack.
- The Novoshakhtinsk refinery had halted operations a month prior after a previous drone strike, and ongoing air defense shortages have repeatedly exposed Russia's critical infrastructure to Ukrainian attacks.
- Russia's Defense Ministry claimed it intercepted 592 Ukrainian drones across Russia and Crimea between Thursday night and Friday morning, though independent reports confirmed multiple refineries sustained damage.
- Governor Yury Slyuser confirmed the Novoshakhtinsk refinery suspended operations after the strike, with satellite imagery showing large smoke plumes visible from the region.
- The strikes underscore Ukraine's capacity to disrupt Russian energy infrastructure despite Moscow's air defense claims, as fuel supply disruptions threaten to intensify economic pressure on Russia.
