Ukraine Launches Massive Drone Attacks Targeting Russian Oil Infrastructure

In a series of coordinated strikes, Ukraine has targeted key Russian oil facilities, including the largest oil terminal and several refineries, leading to significant disruptions in Russian oil production. The drone attacks resulted in loud explosions across various regions, including Moscow and Smolensk, with reports indicating that over 221 Ukrainian drones were launched. Eyewitnesses reported massive fires at oil depots and interruptions in operations at major terminals. As gasoline prices continue to soar in Russia, the Ukrainian offensive appears to threaten the stability of Russian fuel supplies, prompting concerns about a potential gasoline collapse across the country. This escalation comes amid ongoing tensions and geopolitical struggles between Ukraine and Russia.
