Ukraine strikes deep into Russia: fires erupt at major oil refinery and defence plant
Russian drone strikes kill seven in Kharkiv Oblast as Moscow intensifies aerial campaign
ContinuationUkrainian long-range strikes on Tuesday night and early Wednesday struck an oil refinery in Samara—nearly 800 km from the border—and a defence plant in Cheboksary, setting fires and sending plumes of smoke over two major Russian industrial cities. Social media channels and Ukrainian outlets reported the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery in Samara was hit by drones overnight on 10 June, while the VNIIR-Progress defence manufacturing facility in Cheboksary caught fire after a missile strike, according to Pravda Ukraine and .
The Samara refinery blaze was visible on Russian Telegram feeds, with users posting photos and videos of thick black smoke rising above the facility. The Kuibyshev plant is one of Russia’s largest, and its disruption compounds a growing fuel crisis across occupied southern Ukraine and Russia itself. Motorists in Crimea now queue for rations of 20 litres per vehicle as Ukrainian drones target fuel convoys moving south from Russia, Dutch broadcaster RTL reported . In Moscow, residents describe “black rain” of soot falling on cars and streets as Ukrainian drones buzz over major cities, prompting tourists to cancel summer trips, Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet wrote .
Further south, satellite imagery analysed by Pravda Ukraine indicates that up to 15 storage tanks were damaged at a major fuel depot in the North Caucasus after another drone attack, intensifying shortages in southern Russia and occupied Crimea . The cumulative effect has pushed Russian motorists into long lines and rationing, with queues stretching for blocks in cities such as Simferopol and Sevastopol.
In parallel, Ukrainian air defences intercepted Russian strikes on Odesa, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia Oblast overnight. Two residential buildings in Odesa were hit by Russian drones, injuring civilians, while Russian forces launched 26 strikes on Kharkiv, leaving several injured and damaging city infrastructure and . Across Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Russian forces attacked 46 settlements, injuring ten people and damaging civilian infrastructure .
The strikes underscore Kyiv’s widening campaign to sever Russia’s logistical arteries and erode domestic support for the war. Analysts note that by targeting refineries and fuel depots deep inside Russia, Ukraine is attempting to replicate the economic pressure it has applied to occupied Crimea, where supply lines are already strained.
