Ukrainian Drones Hit Russian Oil Station Over 1,500 km Inside Russia

Middle Eastern coverage focuses on the risk that Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries and oil terminals could trigger fires, spills, and wider environmental damage. It links attacks on Russia’s energy sector to concerns about global oil supply, especially if export terminals or key pipelines are disrupted. Commentators expect both Moscow and Kyiv to keep using drones against energy targets, raising the chance of an accident that affects nearby communities and possibly international markets.

• •Strikes on Russian refineries and oil terminals increase the chance of large industrial fires and oil spills.
• •Damage to facilities near the Black Sea could affect shipping routes used for Russian oil exports.
• •Communities living near Russian oil infrastructure face health risks from smoke and pollution if more tanks burn.
• •Sustained attacks on Russian energy sites could eventually reduce export volumes and unsettle oil markets.
• •Neither Russia nor Ukraine shows signs of stepping back from targeting each other’s energy infrastructure.
