Russia attacks Ukraine with more than 150 drones: strikes recorded at 16 locations

Ukraine has previously targeted the southwestern region's Syzran oil refinery on the Volga River as part of its campaign to strike energy infrastructure and pressure Russia to end the more than four-year conflict.

Ukraine has stepped up its long-range aerial attacks on Russian military industries and energy facilities, aiming to cut Moscow’s revenue for the war and make Russians feel the consequences of the invasion, now in its fifth year.

Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov, meanwhile, visited the command center of the country’s eastern group of forces, where he was briefed on front-line operations and the use of drones.
