Ukraine Targets Russian Oil Refinery for Second Time in a Week

Ukrainian forces targeted a Russian oil refinery this week, marking the second such attack within a seven-day period, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

President Zelenskyy confirmed the strike, stating that Ukrainian forces carried out an operation. He did not specify the location of the targeted refinery or provide details on the extent of the damage.

Recent attacks on Russian oil infrastructure have been associated with disruptions in fuel supplies within Russia. These incidents have also been cited as contributing to increased political pressure on the Kremlin.

The Russian government has yet to issue a statement regarding the latest reported strike.
