Ukraine Strikes Russian Energy Targets, Denies Hit on Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant

Ukrainian drones attacked multiple Russian energy infrastructure sites, including oil pumping stations and refineries, across several regions. Kyiv denied claims that a drone struck the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Russian-occupied territory. The attacks mark a continued escalation in Ukraine's targeting of Russia's energy sector.

Ukrainian drones launched attacks overnight on Russian energy infrastructure, hitting an oil pumping station, a refinery, and a fuel depot in multiple regions. These strikes are part of a broader campaign by Ukraine to disrupt Russia's energy sector, which it argues funds the ongoing invasion. Ukraine denied Moscow's allegations that a drone had struck the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which is located in Russian-occupied territory. The denial comes as Kyiv continues to escalate its targeting of Russia's energy infrastructure, citing its role in sustaining the war effort.
