Overnight, a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack struck the city of Volgograd, targeting both a major oil refinery and a key logistics hub. The Zioneer reports that as of 03:46 local time, drones are still operating in the area. The Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka refinery, one of the largest in Russia, was hit, along with a Wildberries distribution center spanning 44,000 square meters. The attack adds to a series of Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian infrastructure that The Zioneer has previously documented. Wildberries facilities have been repeatedly targeted in recent weeks, including in Moscow, Ryazan, and other regions. In June, Ukrainian Flamingo cruise missiles struck the Titan-Barrikady defense plant in Volgograd. The current attack appears to be one of the largest on the city, with drones still active. No immediate claims of responsibility have been reported, and casualty figures remain unknown. The full extent of damage is still being assessed.
