Kyiv’s long-range campaign has hit refineries, logistics hubs and defense-linked plants far beyond the front line. Ukraine has said it struck an oil refinery in Saratov on Friday, where a drone also caused a fire at an Ozon logistics hub. Ukraine has said it struck an oil refinery in Saratov on Friday, where a drone also caused a fire at an Ozon logistics hub. Russian regional authorities said two people were killed and three injured in a separate Ukrainian attack in Tula, while another person was killed in Kursk. Russia, meanwhile, struck two petrol stations in Kyiv with jet-powered drones, killing two people and injuring 12, Ukrainian officials said. The attacks are part of an increasingly deepening campaign by both sides against infrastructure far from the front line. In recent months, Ukrainian drones have hit the Tolyattikauchuk synthetic-rubber plant in Tolyatti and facilities in Taganrog linked to Russian drone and military aviation operations. Kyiv says the strikes target infrastructure supporting Russia’s war effort, while Moscow has stepped up attacks on Ukrainian cities and businesses. Both sides deny deliberately targeting civilians.
