Ukrainian military launched an organized drone assault overnight on three oil infrastructure sites in the regions of Saratov, Ryazan, and Volgograd, igniting blazes at refineries and fuel depots. This operation marks one of the most significant energy attacks in a single night throughout the conflict, as Ukraine ramps up efforts to diminish Russian oil income that supports the Kremlin's military operations. US officials have acknowledged the strategic importance of Ukraine's focus on energy targets.
