Ukrainian forces struck targets at the Yaroslavl oil refinery in Russia overnight, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday. The attack was the fourth on the facility in one month. Zelenskyy stated that the strike used long-range drones against Russian oil refining and export assets.
The Yaroslavl refinery is located about 700 kilometers from Ukrainian territory and is co-owned by Gazprom Neft. Zelenskyy did not specify whether the facility sustained damage. "We are bringing the war back home — to Russia — and that's only fair," Zelenskyy added.
The strikes form part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign against Russian refining and oil exporting assets amid elevated international oil and fuel prices. A satellite image taken by NASA's Fire Information for Resource Management System showed activity at the site, though further details on the extent of any impact were not immediately available.
