Ukraine on Saturday launched a strike on oil infrastructure located more than 850 kilometers deep inside Russian territory, using kamikaze drones, according to reports. Details on the specific location, damage, or casualties have not yet been reported.
The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday on a massive overnight Ukrainian attack that struck hundreds of targets across Russia, including Moscow and St. Petersburg. The new strike reported this evening appears to be a separate long-range attack focused on energy infrastructure deep inside Russia, with a reported depth of over 850 kilometers.
Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian oil and energy facilities in recent weeks, as part of a campaign to disrupt Russia's war economy. Previous strikes have hit oil depots in southern Russia and Crimea, as The Zioneer has covered.
The use of kamikaze drones for such deep strikes aligns with Ukraine's evolving tactics. The specific location of the targeted oil infrastructure remains unclear, and no independent confirmation of the attack has been reported yet.
