Ukraine's Missile Strikes Trigger Blaze at Russian Oil Refinery.
Ukraine launched 13 missiles and 84 drones against Russian territory, causing a prolonged fire at an oil refinery in Rostov. The attacks targeted Russian oil infrastructure amidst escalating warfare. Russian President Putin responded with missile strikes on Ukraine. Damage reports are unverifiable by independent sources.
In a fresh escalation of hostilities, Ukraine targeted Russian territory with a barrage of at least 13 missiles and 84 drones, setting off a fire at the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in Rostov that burned for hours. Russian authorities confirmed the incident on Thursday.
Efforts by Ukraine to cripple Russia's oil-dependent war economy have intensified as the conflict rages. Russian air defences reportedly neutralized 84 drones, including 36 in the Rostov area. The latest attack wounded at least one person, according to local officials.
Although it remains uncertain which missiles were used in this recent assault, Ukraine's past offensive included U.S.-manufactured ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles. Russia's President Vladimir Putin responded with a new missile attack on Ukraine, escalating tensions further.
