Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) drones struck a strategic oil depot in Russia's Yaroslavl region and an explosives-producing plant in the Tula region, as part of a campaign of long-range strikes against Russian military and energy infrastructure.
Key points
- The attack targeted the 'Temp' state reserve facility in Rybinsk, located over 700 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
- A traction electrical substation in Vyazma, Smolensk region, was also damaged, disrupting regional rail power supply.
- Russian authorities reported that while most drones were intercepted, several industrial fuel storage sites sustained hits.
- In response to the strikes, Russia implemented air traffic restrictions at six airports and declared air alerts across 28 regions.
Why it matters
These strikes represent a significant escalation in Ukraine's long-range campaign to degrade Russia's military-industrial capacity and fuel reserves necessary for sustaining the ongoing war.
