- Ukrainian drones struck Russia's Saratov Oil Refinery and a Tatarstan petrochemical plant, with President Zelensky confirming the strikes.
- Ukraine reported hitting three refineries and tankers in a single night of major strikes, per Reuters' headline coverage.
Why it matters: Confirmed at the presidential level, the strikes hit multiple Russian oil-processing sites in one night rather than isolated incidents, per Reuters. Saratov and Tatarstan extend the geographic reach of Ukraine's deep-strike campaign against Russian energy infrastructure.
