In recent months, Russian refineries and oil terminals have become priority targets of Ukrainian drone attacks.
Ukrainian drones attacked one of Russia's biggest oil refineries and a drone factory in the Russian province of Tatarstan, officials said Tuesday, in what appeared to be Kyiv’s deepest strike inside Russian territory since the war began more than two years ago. The attack on facilities near the cities of Yelabuga and Nizhnekamsk, located some 745 miles east of Ukraine, injured 12 people, Russian regional authorities said.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Kyiv was trying to divert attention from its military setbacks by attempting to strike the Russian territory “to persuade its Western sponsors that it remains capable to confront the Russian military.” Speaking during a meeting with the top military brass, Shoigu claimed Russian troops have gained more than about 155 square miles since the start of the year.
