Ukraine struck two oil refineries in Russia with drones overnight as it continued to target energy infrastructure while attempting to repel another missile and drone barrage from Kremlin forces.

A refinery in the Krasnodar region and the Syzran refinery in the Samara region were attacked as part of efforts to curb the supply of fuel to Russia’s army, Ukraine’s General Staff said in a post on Facebook.
