## Executive Summary
Ukraine conducts long-range drone strikes against major Russian oil infrastructure and naval assets in an expanded military campaign.

## Intelligence Brief
Ukrainian military forces have executed a series of drone strikes targeting critical energy and military infrastructure within Russia. The operations included an attack on Russia’s largest oil refinery in Siberia, as well as strikes against an oil terminal in Vysotsk and multiple vessels identified as part of a 'shadow fleet.' Coverage from Reuters, Bloomberg, CNBC, The Detroit News, Business Insider, and UNITED24 Media emphasizes the increased range of these strikes.


Reports highlight Kyiv's stated objective to impact fuel availability in Crimea and degrade Russian military capabilities. Sources note that 47 military targets, including S-400 launchers, have been hit in addition to oil infrastructure.


Future reports will track the operational impact of these strikes on Russian fuel distribution. Coverage does not yet specify the long-term status of the damaged refinery or the total number of ships rendered non-operational.
