Ukraine drone strikes hit Moscow, St Petersburg and Tambov military plant

Ukraine conducted extensive drone strikes against Russian targets overnight into Wednesday. The attacks targeted Moscow, a St Petersburg oil terminal, and a strategic military plant in Tambov region.

Ukrainian armed forces struck multiple strategic targets in Russia overnight into Wednesday, including a military plant in Tambov region, using drones against Moscow and a St Petersburg oil terminal.

The strikes are part of Ukraine's increasingly intensive campaign aimed at hitting Russian military-industrial and energy facilities deep in enemy territory. The plant in Tambov region is believed to be linked to Russian military production, making it a significant strategic target.

Moscow and St Petersburg regions have been repeatedly targeted by Ukrainian drone strikes, but the frequency and scale of attacks have grown markedly in recent months. The strike on St Petersburg's oil terminal is directed against Russia's energy infrastructure, which is one of Ukraine's primary strategic priorities.

Details of the precise consequences and damage caused by the strikes had not yet been fully established at the time of publication.
