Ukraine strikes Ilsky oil refinery in Russia
Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck the Ilsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region overnight, setting the independent facility alight; regional authorities reported drone attacks on two facilities and three deaths with two injuries. The Ilsky refinery is about 850 kilometres southeast of Kyiv and has a design capacity of roughly 6.6 million tons annually and has been targeted repeatedly during Kyiv's campaign to disrupt Russian petroleum production and sales. Russia's defence ministry said it intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones and struck Ukrainian targets, while Ukraine reported large Russian drone attacks; Bloomberg could not independently verify claims. The strikes add to supply risks for global petroleum markets amid wider geopolitical tensions.
