Summary
Ukraine said it struck the Taneco refinery in Tatarstan and the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal on the Black Sea overnight, triggering fires at both sites.
Taneco lies about 900 kilometers east of Moscow, underscoring Kyiv’s ability to hit energy infrastructure deep inside Russia as fuel shortages worsen.
The latest attacks target a refinery processing 16 million tons of crude a year and follow earlier drone strikes on the same terminal, part of Ukraine’s campaign to disrupt supplies and financing tied to Russia’s war effort.
