Ukrainian drones struck the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery in Yaroslavl, one of Russia’s largest refineries, triggering a major fire. The overnight attack reportedly damaged a critical vacuum distillation unit at the site, which processes about 15 million tons of crude a year and produces gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Zelensky published footage from the burning refinery and said the facility played a major role in financing Russia’s war. #Russia
