Ukraine said it struck two major fuel-producing facilities and an oil pumping station in Russia, adding more pressure on the nation’s refinery runs that hit multi-year lows in April.

Drones hit an oil refinery in Yaroslavl, about 282 kilometers (175 miles) northeast of Moscow, overnight, according to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. There were also fresh strikes on the Permnefteorgsintez refinery in Perm and a nearby oil pumping station, both about 1,500 kilometers east of the Russian capital, and hit earlier in the week, the country’s Security Service SBU said on Telegram.
