Ukraine attacked a private oil refinery in Russia’s Kaluga region with four drones early Friday in an operation carried out by the GUR military spy agency, he told the agency Ukrainian news source. According to the Russian governor of the Kaluga region, Vladislav Šapša, there should not have been any serious damage to the building or loss of life. However, the Baza Telegram channel claims that there was a brief fire at the site of the affected refinery.
Kiev attacked a Russian oil refinery with four drones, which is located in a strategic area, about 65 km from Moscow. In addition, Ukraine has been targeting its attacks since last week on the lifeblood of the Russian economy, which lies precisely in the oil industry.
