Ukraine targets Siberian refinery while Russian strikes inflict heavy civilian casualties

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that defense forces executed a long-range strike against a petro-refining facility in Tobolsk, Siberia, located over 2,500 kilometers away. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine aims to show Russian citizens "the necessity of ending the war."

Concurrently, Russian forces launched intense artillery and aerial bombardments across eastern and northern regions of Ukraine. The attacks resulted in at least three civilian fatalities and nine injuries, including children, particularly in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. In Chernihiv Oblast, power plant disruptions caused by the strikes left roughly 99,000 subscribers without electricity.

Meanwhile, severe shelling has devastated the frontline city of Druzhkivka in Donetsk Oblast. Local authorities report that continuous bombardment has reduced its pre-war population of nearly 56,000 to fewer than 4,000 residents.
