Ukrainian long-range strikes
On the night of August 10, Ukrainian forces targeted the Saratov oil refinery. Drone attacks caused explosions and fires at the facility.
The Saratov refinery is a key asset in Russia's fuel infrastructure. It processes up to 7 million tons of oil annually.
The day before, on August 9, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) drones attacked a Shahed drone storage terminal in Tatarstan. The strike hit a logistics hub holding ready-to-use Shahed drones and foreign components.
