Ukraine Strikes Saratov Refinery

Ukrainian forces struck a major oil refinery in Saratov, reports KyivPost, following a nighttime missile attack that triggered fires and explosions.

The attack was part of broader Ukrainian operations targeting Russian energy infrastructure, with officials confirming damage to the facility per Bloomberg.

The incident follows a wave of strikes across Russia, including Oryol and other regions, as Ukraine intensifies its campaign against key strategic assets, notes InKorr.
