Ukrainian forces have carried out a long-range drone strike on a Russian oil refinery, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the military said on Thursday.
Posting on X, Zelenskyy said his forces had struck the Syzran oil refinery in western Russia, sharing video footage showing flames and black smoke billowing from what appeared to be the facility.
"I thank the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces and the Special Operations Forces for their precision," Zelenskyy wrote, adding that Kyiv would continue to target Russia's oil refineries.
