President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian forces struck three oil refineries and four radar systems in Russia's Bashkortostan Republic and Krasnodar Krai. The drone strikes targeted the Bashneft-Ufimsky, Bashneft-Novoil, and Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim refineries in Ufa, which form one of Russia's largest oil-refining clusters. These facilities produce essential petroleum products, including supplies for the Russian military. President Volodymyr Zelensky noted that the targets were located nearly 1,600 kilometers away, demonstrating the long-range sanctions plan being implemented step by step. While Bashkortostan Governor Radiy Khabirov confirmed the drones targeted Ufa, he claimed the attack was repelled and no casualties were reported. Russia's Defense Ministry reported shooting down 274 drones across Russian territory and the Black Sea region. Additionally, Ukraine's General Staff reported strikes on several military targets in occupied Crimea and southern Ukraine, including railway bridges and a logistics depot.
