Ukraine extends long-range strikes to Siberia as Russian attacks hit eastern regions

Ukrainian forces have expanded their deep-strike campaign inside Russia, hitting an oil refinery in the Siberian city of Tobolsk, more than 2,500 kilometres from the front lines, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky framed the extended reach as a decisive effort to demonstrate to Moscow the urgency of halting the conflict.

Simultaneously, Russian forces continued heavy bombardments across Ukraine. Recent strikes in eastern regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, killed at least three civilians and wounded nine others. In northern Chernihiv, damaged energy infrastructure left roughly 99,000 customers without electricity. In Donetsk Oblast, relentless artillery and aerial bomb attacks have devastated the frontline city of Druzhkivka, reducing its pre-war population of 56,000 to fewer than 4,000 remaining residents.
