Ukraine Hits Russian Arctic Gas Plants in Record Deep Strike

In September 2026, Ukraine launched a record-setting deep strike on Russian Arctic gas infrastructure, hitting two plants 3,200 kilometers inside Russia, according to Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SSO). The attack was part of a broader overnight operation that also targeted oil and port facilities stretching from the Arctic to the Caspian Sea. Russia responded by striking the Moldova border and a Black Sea port, while a civilian was killed as Ukraine launched 448 drones at Russia overnight. The strikes demonstrate Ukraine's growing ability to reach deep into Russian territory and disrupt key energy assets.
