Russia’s gasoline output falls to 65 per cent after Ukrainian strikes: Sources

An overnight assault reached key oil facilities in southern Russia, adding pressure to a fuel network already strained by repeated Ukrainian strikes.

An oil refinery in the southern Krasnodar region caught fire after a Ukrainian drone attack early Friday, while authorities in the city of Taganrog evacuated some residents from their homes following a separate strike on a seaport.

Russia has started attacking Ukraine's energy facilities with 20-25 drones simultaneously, while the number of hits in 2026 has risen by 36% compared to the first half of 2025.
