Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Refineries Again! Explosions & Fires Reported

Ukraine has launched a new wave of drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, sparking massive fires and fuel disruptions. Overnight, eight drones hit the Volgograd oil refinery, causing a fire despite Russian air defenses. Another Lukoil refinery in Nizhny Novgorod was also targeted, though Lukoil denies any damage. Meanwhile, Yaroslavl saw four more drones destroyed before impact.

This marks another escalation in Ukraine’s strategy to cripple Russia’s war efforts by hitting key fuel infrastructure. Just last week, a strike on Ryazan forced a refinery shutdown. Russia claims it shot down 49 Ukrainian drones overnight and is ramping up defenses.
