Ukraine launched two long-range military strikes against Russia on Wednesday, hitting another oil refinery and a military facility, continuing the trend of its recent military success with such weapons. Russia’s Ufa oil refinery and an aerospace and defense facility where missile components are built were hit by Ukrainian forces. Both targets are hundreds of miles from the front lines of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The attack comes a day after Ukraine hit the Dubna Space Communications Center, Russia’s largest space and satellite communications center. Wednesday’s strike on the Ufa oil refinery marks the latest military operation conducted by Ukraine using long-range weapons that have damaged Russian oil refineries and hit a section of the country’s energy infrastructure.Both targets were hundreds of miles away from the “front line” of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The Ufa oil refinery, located in Bashkortostan, Russia, is approximately 800 miles away, while the military base in Russia’s Penza Oblast is located over 750 miles from Kyiv, Ukraine, and nearly 380 miles from Moscow, Russia. Ufa oil refinery is a critical energy hub for the country, while the military facility at the Scientific Research Institute of Physical Measurements in the Penza Oblast manufactures weapons components vital to Russia’s military operations.
