Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Refineries Deep Inside Russia

In early August 2026, Ukraine launched drone strikes on two oil refineries deep inside Russian territory, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The attacks, which also damaged a Wildberries warehouse, came as Russia reported shooting down over 600 Ukrainian drones. The strikes mark a continued effort by Ukraine to take the war deeper into Russia, targeting energy infrastructure far from the front lines.
