President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian drones struck an oil facility in Yaroslavl Oblast and a plant linked to Russian army explosives production in Tula Oblast, according to reports by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). Damage and casualties have not yet been reported.
President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian drones struck two targets inside Russia on Tuesday: an oil facility in Yaroslavl Oblast and a plant in Tula Oblast linked to the Russian army's explosives production. The strikes were reported by Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). No details on damage, casualties, or the type of drone used have yet been released. The announcement, published at 11:14 Jerusalem time, confirms and expands the morning's earlier reports.
At 06:39 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported initial unverified claims of a Ukrainian drone attack on an oil refinery in Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Oblast. A second version at the same time specified the target as an oil refinery in Yaroslavl Oblast. By 11:14, footage emerged showing a drone striking a large oil depot in Rybinsk. Zelensky's 11:14 confirmation adds the Tula explosives plant, shifting the thread from single-source reports to a direct presidential statement, though independent verification of both sites remains pending.
The morning's operation extends a pattern of Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy and military-industrial infrastructure. On June 10, The Zioneer reported a Ukrainian drone strike on an oil refinery in Samara, and on June 12-13, Ukraine struck facilities in Tatarstan, Nizhnekamsk, and Crimea. The Tula plant is the first reported hit in that oblast.
Damage assessment and verification of the specific targets at both Yaroslavl and Tula remain pending, pending Russian or third-party confirmation.
