The story so far
Ukraine has reportedly struck two major Russian oil refineries, Afipsky and Taneco, within a short span. The attacks are part of a broader strategy to target Russian oil infrastructure. The latest strike on the Afipsky refinery marks the fifth time it has been hit.
The Taneco refinery was struck again just ten days after a previous attack. A drone strike sparked a fire at an oil refinery in southern Russia, exacerbating a fuel crisis across the country. The Kyiv Post and MiGFlug both note that the attacks are part of a deliberate strategy to disrupt Russian energy supplies.
Bloomberg and Asia Times cover the immediate impact of the strikes and the broader implications for Russia's energy sector.
