Ukrainian Drone Strikes Hit Two Russian Oil Refineries, Sparking Fires
Ukraine claims responsibility for attacks on Ilsky and Syzran refineries, while explosions and fires are reported in Kyiv.
Ukraine’s military said it struck Russia’s Ilsky and Syzran oil refineries, resulting in fires at the facilities. The attacks are part of broader drone operations targeting Russian energy infrastructure.
Simultaneously, Kyiv’s mayor reported several powerful explosions in Ukraine’s capital and fires in two districts, underscoring the two-way nature of the strikes.
The incidents may escalate concerns about oil supply disruptions from Russia, a major crude exporter, potentially lifting crude prices.
