In a continued escalation of hostilities, Ukrainian forces have launched a substantial drone offensive against Russian targets, striking oil refineries, radar stations, and military infrastructure. Despite the Russian Ministry of Defense’s claims of shooting down the majority of the drones, reports indicate significant damage to Russian facilities, including a fire at the Ilskij oil refinery in Krasnodar and damage to a bus station in Juschny. Satellite images have corroborated the aftermath of an attack on a Russian oil base in Adygea, showing at least one building and a hangar damaged. The Ukrainian military’s operations are part of a broader strategy to disrupt Russia’s supply chains and economy while countering the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia has reported a series of 14 group strikes on Ukrainian military infrastructure over the past week, targeting warehouses, military airfields, and power substations. The Russian Ministry of Defense also claimed that Ukrainian forces have suffered significant losses, including over 6,000 soldiers, 20 tanks, and 100 armored vehicles. As the conflict continues, both nations are employing advanced weaponry and tactics, leading to a sustained period of intense military engagement.
