From Saratov to Omsk, the front line is stretched long enough — exchanging drone costs for oil refineries, Ukraine knows how to calculate this equation.

A Ukrainian drone night attack caused a fire at the Saratov refinery; NASA’s thermal anomaly shows there may still be active flames. The governor of Saratov Oblast said the facility was damaged and one person died. In recent days, Ukraine has carried out attacks on Russian refineries nearly every day, with the coverage expanding to places including Omsk in Western Siberia, causing multiple plants to suspend operations and worsening gasoline shortages. The governor of Rostov Oblast said two empty oil tankers were attacked in the Taganrog Bay of the Sea of Azov in the Taganrog area, injuring 2 people with no leakage; industrial facilities in the city of Nizhnekamsk were also damaged.
