Ukrainian drones hit oil refineries and logistics facilities in the Russian cities of Perm, Ryazan and Taganrog, as well as the Crimean Peninsula overnight, with the country’s top online retailer Wildberries evacuating its Ryazan warehouse.
While Ukraine’s air defenses are running low on interceptors like Patriot missiles, leaving it more exposed to Russian strikes, its own deep-strike drone production has outpaced Russia’s, enabling it to hit Russian oil refineries and infrastructure and cause fuel shortages across its 11 time zones.

Drone strikes have damaged at least seven Wildberries warehouses in the past few days, destroying around 10 percent of the company’s storage capacity and inflicting losses on tens of thousands of small businesses that sell goods and services via the platform, according to the company and local authorities.
In a statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his forces had struck oil refineries in Perm and Ryazan, a logistics center in Ryazan, an export terminal and military plant in the Rostov region, as well as a naval base in Crimea.
