Ukraine unleashed a sweeping overnight drone offensive that struck deep inside Russian territory, killing at least three and igniting fires at key military and energy infrastructure sites.
The strikes, claimed by Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and intelligence agency SBU, highlight Kyiv’s expanding long-range drone warfare capabilities.
High-value targets included the Ryazan oil refinery near Moscow, the Annanefteprodukt oil facility in Voronezh, and the Primorsko-Akhtarsk military airfield—allegedly used to launch Iranian-made Shahed drones.
In Penza, the Elektropribor electronics plant was hit, killing a woman and injuring two others.
Fires and structural damage were also reported in Samara and Rostov, where casualties included an elderly man and a security guard.
Russia’s defense ministry said 112 drones were intercepted during the 9-hour attack, but several breached air defenses.
As Ukraine leans on asymmetric warfare, its drone campaign signals a bold shift in strategy—aimed at crippling Russia's war machine beyond the frontlines.
