Ukraine Hits Russian Oil Sites and FSB Center in 208-Drone Assault

5 articles · Updated · Kyiv Post · May 29

Russia said it shot down 208 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones overnight, but strikes still damaged fuel and industrial sites in Volgograd, Yaroslavl and Krasnodar Krai.
Volgograd’s Lukoil refinery — able to process more than 15 million tons a year — was hit again, and a nearby synthetic fiber plant strike killed one person and injured two.
Yaroslavl authorities said industrial fuel storage facilities caught fire with no casualties; the targeted industrial zone includes the YANOS refinery and an oil depot with 300,000 cubic meters of storage.
In Krasnodar’s Temryuk district, a seaport fire drew 47 personnel and 14 vehicles, while Ukraine’s SBU said the same wave disabled the FSB’s 16th Center, an electronic intelligence site used to guide missiles and drones.
Kyiv cast the barrage as part of a sustained campaign against Russia’s oil logistics and rear-area command systems to complicate air defense coordination and deepen drone reach inside Russia.
