Casualties and Targets: The strike hit a hostel and the Taneco oil refinery, killing at least 13 people (including several foreign nationals) and injuring 78 others.
Strategic Goal: This is part of a sustained Ukrainian campaign to degrade Russia’s oil export industry and military logistics, which has reportedly knocked out up to 40% of Russia’s refining capacity. Ukrainian drones have also recently targeted warehouses belonging to Wildberries (Russia’s largest online retailer) and facilities in western Siberia.
