Ukraine is claiming responsibility for a drone attack on a distant Russian oil facility.
The strike, reported Wednesday, targeted a site over 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says these long-range strikes aim to disrupt Russia’s energy infrastructure.
Russian media reported the attack, but officials have been vague about details.
Ukraine's Security Service says the facility is a key hub in Russia’s oil transport system.
The attack follows a recent strike on the Tuapse oil refinery.
Ukraine is increasing its drone production, aiming to exploit Russia's vulnerabilities and reduce its oil revenue.
