Ukrainian drones strike Russian infrastructure as Moscow advances in east

Ukrainian forces have conducted extensive long-range drone strikes targeting critical energy, commercial, and naval assets inside Russia and Crimea. Attacks struck the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl, causing damage to oil storage tanks and leaving four people injured. Commercial logistics infrastructure was also hit over 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border in Yekaterinburg, where fires broke out at distribution facilities belonging to retail giants Lenta and Wildberries. Additionally, Ukrainian security services reported targeting Russian coast guard vessels near Kerch.

Simultaneously, Russian forces made tactical advances on the ground, pushing toward Dobropillia north of Pokrovsk and securing new positions near Stepnohirsk in the Zaporizhzhia region. Meanwhile, reports indicate that full intelligence-sharing capabilities between Ukraine and the United States have been reinstated.
