Drones strike Saratov oil refinery, injuring 10 people
TL;DR
Ukrainian drones reportedly struck the Rosneft-owned Saratov Oil Refinery in Russia, sparking a blaze and injuring 10 people (including three children), according to regional officials. Air-defense activity was reported near Engels-2, though it’s unclear if the bomber base was hit. Moscow said hundreds of drones were intercepted overnight across multiple regions (384 claimed). The refinery is a major energy facility tied to Russian military logistics, and Kyiv has intensified long-range drone strikes on oil infrastructure; independent verification of the attack was not immediately possible.
