01 · THE DISPATCH

Ukrainian drones struck a large Russian oil depot in Rybinsk this morning, the latest in a series of long-range Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. Footage posted by a single source shows a drone approaching a storage tank and exploding on impact. The attack follows a similar strike on a refinery in the same area that The Zioneer reported on at 09:34, as part of a broader Ukrainian campaign targeting Russian fuel and energy facilities. Rybinsk, in Yaroslavl Oblast, sits over 800 km from Ukrainian-held territory. No details on damage or casualties are yet available, and the claim cannot be independently verified.
