Ukraine launched a drone strike on Russia’s Saratov oil refinery shortly after midnight on 10 Aug., triggering a large blaze at the facility in the country’s southwest, according to battlefield imagery and local video recordings. Multiple unmanned aerial vehicles struck the complex, and flames were visible from nearby residential areas. Russian authorities had not confirmed casualties or the extent of damage as of early Friday, and the refinery’s output status remained unclear. The attack is the latest in a series of cross-border strikes that have broadened the conflict beyond Ukraine’s front lines. On 9 Aug., Ukrainian sources released footage purporting to show modernised An-196 “Lyuty” kamikaze drones hitting the Alabuga special economic zone in Russia’s Tatarstan region, while Russian forces used a FAB-3000 UMPK guided bomb to hit the frontline city of Pokrovsk in Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast the same day.
