Ukraine drone hit Russian oil facility after flying 'record' 1,500 km, Kyiv source says

A Ukrainian attack drone struck a Russian oil processing plant in the Bashkiria region on Thursday after flying a "record" distance of 1,500 km (932.06 miles) in an operation conducted by the SBU security service, a Kyiv intelligence source told Reuters.

The drone hit a catalytic cracking unit at the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat oil processing, petrochemical and fertiliser complex, the source said. Russia confirmed the fact of damage at the plant earlier, but said the facility was functioning as usual.
