- On Wednesday, Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery and a residential building in Ufa, Bashkortostan, injuring one person, while Bashkortostan Governor Radiy Khabirov stated that air defense forces intercepted four of the six incoming drones.
- Ukraine has intensified drone strikes on energy infrastructure this year to reduce Russian fuel supplies, causing several large processing sites to go offline and contributing to gasoline and diesel shortages across Russia for over three months.
- One drone hit a unit undergoing maintenance at an oil refinery, causing "a small fire at one of the oil refineries," according to Khabirov, while another struck a residential building in the Zaton neighborhood, shattering windows and damaging cars.
- Russia's Defense Ministry reported intercepting 453 Ukrainian drones across the country and annexed Crimea between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, as separate Russian strikes on the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions reportedly killed six people during the same period.
- Located over 1,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, Bashkortostan serves as a major hub for the Russian oil processing industry, and officials expect to complete repairs on the damaged industrial site within a few days.
