  • •Ukrainian drones targeted major oil refineries in Russia, causing significant damage.

On November 3, 2026, a Ukrainian drone attack targeted the Novo-Yaroslavl Oil Refinery in Yaroslavl, damaging infrastructure and injuring two employees. The attack was part of Ukraine's resumed campaign against Russian oil facilities after a brief pause. Russian air defenses reportedly shot down 124 drones in the region. The refinery, one of Russia's largest, processes 15 million metric tons of crude oil annually and supplies fuel to military and civilian sectors. This strike follows a similar attack on the Samara Linear Production and Dispatch Station on November 2, which also resulted in significant fires. The recent attacks come amid heightened tensions and pressure from U.S. officials on Ukraine to limit strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. The situation remains fluid as both sides continue to engage in military actions.
