Ukraine’s Drones Target Russian Refineries, Pumping Stations

Ukraine claimed drone strikes that damaged energy infrastructure deep within Russian territory on Saturday, the latest of a series of attacks aimed at denting export revenues and stemming the flow of oil.

Kyiv’s forces targeted several pumping stations along the trunk oil pipeline carrying crude oil toward the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, according to a source with Ukraine’s Security Service. The facilities are located some 1,700 kilometres (around 1,060 miles) away from Novorossiysk.
