Summary
Ukraine said it struck an oil refinery and a gas-processing plant in Russia overnight, widening its latest wave of drone attacks on energy infrastructure.
Kyiv has intensified refinery strikes through the summer to disrupt Russian fuel and military logistics, a campaign that has already pushed daily oil-processing rates to multiyear lows.
Russian fuel supplies have come under strain, with several regions reporting shortages and rationing as damaged plants curb output.
Moscow has responded by temporarily banning most exports of diesel, gasoline and jet fuel to shore up the domestic market.
