Where it stands

Ukraine's military has struck two strategic targets deep within Russia. The first was a Tu-95 bomber at the Engels air base, which Russia uses to launch cruise missiles on Ukrainian civilians. The second was one of Russia's largest oil refineries in Yaroslavl. The Engels air base is a key strategic location for Russia's long-range aviation.

The Tu-95 bomber is a crucial component of Russia's military arsenal, capable of carrying nuclear weapons. The Yaroslavl oil refinery is one of Russia's largest, processing significant amounts of crude oil. The attack on the refinery sparked a fire and killed one person. The strikes are part of Ukraine's ongoing efforts to disrupt Russian military operations and infrastructure.

The Yaroslavl oil refinery is a critical part of Russia's energy sector, and its disruption could have economic implications. The strikes come amid heightened tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides engaged in a protracted conflict.
