Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on Russia’s Yanos oil refinery, damaging the facility and injuring two workers. A total of 124 drones targeted the Yaroslavl region site, causing a fire that emergency services are still fighting. The strike is part of Ukraine’s renewed campaign to cripple Russia’s energy infrastructure and cut off oil revenues used to fund the war.
This is the latest in a series of attacks since late October, hitting at least four major refineries and a key pumping station. The Yanos refinery, with a capacity of 300,000 barrels per day, supplies fuel to Moscow and surrounding areas. Ukraine has not officially claimed responsibility, but the strikes aim to bring the war home to Russia.
In response, Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Meanwhile, peace talks mediated by the US are set for Nov. 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, focusing on security, de-escalation, and humanitarian efforts.
