Distance Record: Strike Hits Oil Field 1200 Miles Into Russia
Published 3 months ago
It is being reported that Ukraine carried out an effective strike against a Russian oil refinery over 1200 miles (2000 km) into Russian territory.
The incident occurred at the Transneft oil refinery in Usinsk in the Komi Republic. An explosion was reported, followed by a massive fire. It's not clear if a drone was used or where it would have been lunched from. If the fire was the result of a legitimate strike, it would mark the furthest hit Ukraine has made on a Russian oil facility.
