The strikes are a part of Ukraine's ongoing "long-range sanctions" campaign targeting Russia's military-industrial and energy infrastructure deep behind the front line, as Kyiv seeks to impose higher costs on Moscow's war effort.

Ukraine’s military confirmed strikes on Russian targets in occupied territories and the shutdown of the Syzran oil refinery in Russia’s Samara Oblast.

Occupied Sevastopol also came under missile and drone attack as Moscow claimed to down 140 Ukrainian drones.
