Ukrainian drones hit oil and gas facilities in Russia, SBU official says


Ukrainian long-range ‌drones hit ‌oil product tanks in ‌the Russian port of Temryuk and a gas ‍processing plant ‍in Russia's ‌Orenburg, an official at the ‍SBU ​security service told ⁠Reuters on Thursday.

"The SBU continues ‌to target facilities in ⁠the ‍Russian oil and gas sector systematically. ‍Each of these ‌strikes hits the Russian budget, reduces foreign currency revenues, and complicates logistics and fuel supplies for the ‌army," the official said.
