Summary
Ukraine said its forces struck two Russian refineries, expanding a campaign against energy infrastructure to sites in central Russia and on the Baltic coast.
Explosions were recorded near the Yanos refinery in the Yaroslavl region, and smoke was seen over the facility, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.
The attacks add pressure to Russia’s fuel system by compounding a nationwide gasoline shortage already linked to repeated strikes on refineries and related infrastructure.
Yanos, about 250 kilometers northeast of Moscow, was also reportedly targeted on June 28, underscoring Kyiv’s repeated use of long-range drones against Russian oil assets.
