Ukraine says it hit Russian oil facilities, military airfield
RUSSIA, AUG 2 – Ukraine's drone strikes targeted key Russian oil and military sites, including a refinery and airfield, to disrupt Moscow's military logistics amid ongoing conflict escalation.
- On Friday night and Saturday, Ukraine's military struck multiple Russian targets including oil refineries, a military drone airfield, and an electronics factory in western Russia.
- These strikes followed Ukraine's buildup of long-range kamikaze drones since Russia's 2022 full-scale invasion and aimed to weaken Russia's military and economic capacity.
- The strikes targeted industrial sites across the Ryazan, Penza, Samara, and Voronezh regions, with a fire reported at a refinery 180 km southeast of Moscow and disruption at a key military airfield launching Russian drone attacks.
- Overnight, Ukraine's air force intercepted 45 out of 53 Russian drones targeting its territory, while Russia reported shooting down 338 Ukrainian drones and securing control of Oleksandro-Kalynove village in Donetsk on Saturday.
- These developments show Ukraine’s intention to maintain pressure on Russian military infrastructure and suggest continuing conflict dynamics in eastern Ukraine where Russia holds nearly 20% territory.
