Ukraine has intensified long‑range drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, striking oil refineries, gas compression stations, and fuel tankers. These attacks are part of a broader effort to disrupt supply chains.
The strikes have disrupted fuel supplies, leading to localized shortages in regions such as Crimea.
A statement from Russian officials claimed the attacks aim to damage the economy and spread panic among the population.
The same statement asserted that Russia's energy system possesses high resilience and that the campaign would ultimately fail.
Russian authorities announced a plan to increase attacks on Ukrainian military‑related infrastructure, describing Ukrainian actions as terrorist attacks on civilian facilities.
