Ukraine Conducts Long-Range Strikes on Russian Oil Facilities and Military Targets, Including a Shadow Fleet Tanker and Nuclear Plant

Ukraine launched long-range strikes on Russian oil-related facilities and military targets, including a shadow fleet tanker, an oil depot in Taganrog, and an oil terminal in Crimea. The strikes also targeted Russian naval aircraft and missile systems on the Black Sea coast. Ukraine denied Russia’s claims of a drone attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, while Russia’s Rosatom reported such an incident.

Ukraine conducted strikes on Russian oil and military infrastructure, including a shadow fleet tanker, an oil depot in Taganrog, and an oil terminal in Crimea. Drones caused fires at an oil depot in Armavir and a port in Taganrog. Ukraine also destroyed two Russian Tu-142 naval aircraft and an Iskander missile system on the Black Sea coast. Zelensky stated that Ukraine is implementing a long-range strike campaign in response to Russian attacks. Russia’s Rosatom claimed a Ukrainian drone struck the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which Ukraine denied. The IAEA requested access to the plant following the alleged strike. Ukraine’s intelligence warned of a possible massive Russian strike, which Zelensky confirmed remains valid.
