Daily Russian attacks have intensified in recent months, prompting Ukraine to hit back with its own drone strikes deeper into Russian territory. These operations have primarily targeted military and energy facilities.
Ukrainian forces have specifically struck several oil facilities inside Russia and occupied Ukraine to make Moscow bear the economic cost of the war. Among these targets was one of the largest transshipment hubs for oil and petroleum products in southern Russia.
Furthermore, Ukrainian forces struck oil depots in Russian-occupied Crimea, along with various command and ammunition locations in Russia. These efforts have made it difficult for Moscow to provide necessary military and civilian supplies to the territories it occupies.
