Overnight into Friday, Ukrainian drones struck a Lukoil oil refinery in Russia's Perm region, Ukrainian media report.
Ukraine carried out a drone strike overnight into Friday against an oil refinery located in Russia's Perm region, according to Ukrainian media reports.
The target of the strike was a facility belonging to the company Lukoil. The refinery is located deep inside Russian territory, far from the Ukrainian border, underscoring Ukraine's growing capability to hit targets well beyond the front line.
Details about the extent of any damage or possible casualties have not yet been made available. Ukraine has not officially confirmed the strike; the report is based on Ukrainian media sources.
Strikes of this kind on Russian oil refining and energy infrastructure have become more frequent recently, as Ukraine seeks to undermine Russia's ability to supply fuel to its military and economy.
