Ukrainian drones attacked and set fire to an oil refinery in the Rostov region.
Dozens of long-range Ukrainian kamikaze drones hit Russian military and infrastructure targets hundreds of kilometers apart on Friday, in one of the most ambitious air strike operations yet launched by Kyiv against its massive eastern opponent. Hits and damage were confirmed by multiple sources following attacks against a critical Russian air defense site on the western shore of the occupied Crimea peninsula and at a refinery in Russia's Rostov region, on the other side of the Black Sea.
