Frontline situation
Ukraine expanded its long-range strike campaign overnight with attacks on strategic military and industrial targets across Russia and occupied Ukraine. According to Ukrainian officials, the operation hit a defense facility producing components for Russian missiles, one of Russia's largest oil refineries, aircraft hangars at the Saky airbase in occupied Crimea, and multiple bridges critical for transporting troops, ammunition, and military equipment, underscoring Kyiv's growing ability to disrupt Russia's war effort far from the battlefield.
