Ukraine’s drone offensive targets Russian oil refineries, logistics hubs and civilian sites

A wave of Ukrainian drone attacks has battered Russian infrastructure, striking oil refineries, grain terminals, fuel depots and major e-commerce warehouses. Notable hits include the Novatek-Ust-Luga complex in Leningrad region, the Ryazan refinery, and the Slavyansk-EKO plant in Krasnodar Krai, each suffering fires and operational setbacks. Logistics hubs of Ozon and Wildberries in several regions were set ablaze, prompting temporary halts to deliveries and a drop in Ozon’s share price.

Power and gas distribution networks have also been hit, leaving tens of thousands of customers without electricity. Regional governors reported the downing of hundreds of drones and imposed temporary flight bans at dozens of airports, while fuel sales were capped in the Leningrad region. The campaign underscores Ukraine’s expanding use of unmanned weapons to pressure Russia’s energy and supply chains.
