In a series of coordinated attacks, Ukrainian drones have targeted multiple Russian oil refineries, marking a significant escalation in its campaign against Russia's oil infrastructure. The attacks, which occurred over the past week, have hit facilities including the Kaluga Oil Refinery southwest of Moscow, the Pervyy Zavod refinery outside of Kaluga, and the Syzran refinery, among others, located 500 miles east of Ukraine. These strikes are part of Ukraine's strategic campaign to systematically destroy Russia's oil and gas industry, with recent attacks causing a spike in Russian domestic oil prices. The Slavyansk-on-Kuban refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region, 300km from the Ukrainian border, was also struck, reportedly by seven Ukrainian drones, making it the sixth refinery targeted in a single week. Additionally, 35 UAVs attacked regions including Moscow, where several drones reached the Domodedovo Airport, and other locations up to 1100km from Ukraine, indicating the broad scope of the campaign.
