TL;DR Summary

Ukraine says long-range drones hit two Russian refineries—Bashneft-Novoil in Bashkortostan and Slavneft-Yanos in Yaroslavl—targets hundreds of miles from the border. Slavneft-Yanos is among Russia’s largest, processing about 15 million tons of crude annually and employing over 3,500 people. Debris from the Yaroslavl attack hit storage tanks, starting a fire; there were no deaths and four injuries, with authorities reporting 93 drones destroyed. Kyiv frames the strikes as a way to reduce Russia’s oil revenues, while Moscow responds with missile strikes and ongoing Black Sea tensions.
