Ukrainian long-range strikes target Russian energy and logistics infrastructure

Ukrainian forces launched a series of long-range attacks deep within Russian territory, targeting energy facilities, commercial networks, and military figures.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed drone strikes against major oil refineries in Bashkiria and Yaroslavl, along with operations targeting Russian naval vessels in the Black Sea. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones hit distribution centers operated by the Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries in Moscow and St. Petersburg, triggering large fires and leaving at least five people dead.

In a separate incident, an explosive device detonated at a Moscow restaurant in an apparent attack aimed at General Aleksandr Chayko, commander of Russia's Aerospace Forces. While Ukrainian leadership presented the strikes as direct responses to Russian aggression, Russian officials downplayed the extent of damage to energy targets.
