Ukraine struck an oil refinery in Siberia over 2,500 km away, while Russian bombardments caused casualties in eastern regions and major power cuts in Chernihiv.

Ukrainian forces targeted an oil refinery in Tobolsk, Siberia, located more than 2,500 kilometres from the border, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced. The operation marks an expansion of Kyiv's deep-strike capabilities aimed at demonstrating to Russia the necessity of ending the war.

Simultaneously, Russian strikes inflicted civilian casualties and disrupted critical infrastructure across Ukraine. Local authorities reported at least three fatalities and nine injuries following artillery and aerial attacks in eastern regions, including Dnipropetrovsk. In northern Chernihiv, damaged energy facilities left approximately 99,000 subscribers without electricity. Further east, ongoing bombardments have severely depopulated the frontline hub of Druzhkivka in Donetsk Oblast, shrinking its pre-war population of 56,000 down to fewer than 4,000 residents.
