On Thursday, Ukrainian drones targeted an energy storage facility in Almetyevsk, Russia, igniting a fire that was swiftly extinguished, as reported by Russian media citing the local governor's press service.

This operation is part of Kyiv's broader strategy to ramp up strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, aiming to cripple Moscow's financial resources for its military operations in Ukraine.

Almetyevsk, 1,700 kilometers from Ukrainian-held areas, is in Tatarstan's Volga river region, known for its oil wealth.
