Ukraine claimed new strikes on two Russian refineries as military authorities in Kyiv press ahead with attacks on Moscow’s oil-processing industry to curtail its energy revenues.

Ukraine’s General Staff said it struck Rosneft PJSC’s Saratov refinery in Russia’s Volga region for a second time this month, triggering explosions and “a massive fire,” with the extent of damage still being assessed. Later on Tuesday, it claimed a separate attack on the Orsk refinery in the Orenburg region near Kazakhstan that damaged a key processing unit.
