Ukraine has launched drone strikes targeting Russian territory, hitting an oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk and a logistics hub in Voronezh Oblast. The attack on the Taneko oil refinery in Tatarstan, located over 6,000 kilometers from Ukraine, resulted in at least 13 deaths and 39 injuries. Among the fatalities were seven Uzbek citizens. This strike is considered one of Kyiv's deadliest on Russian soil, part of an ongoing campaign to degrade Russia's military capabilities. The Wildberries logistics center in Voronezh Oblast was also targeted.
In retaliation or as part of ongoing hostilities, Russia launched ballistic missile attacks on August 11, 2026, targeting multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia. These attacks caused at least five deaths and 20 injuries in Zaporizhzhia, with one person injured in Kyiv. The strikes hit industrial and civilian facilities, including residential areas.
Separately, a Ukrainian MiG-29 fighter jet experienced a fire and crashed during a combat mission in Odesa Oblast on August 10. The pilot successfully ejected from the aircraft before it was lost. The cause of the incident is currently under investigation.
The Ukrainian drone strikes aim to disrupt Russia's oil production and logistics, impacting its war effort. The attacks on Russian soil, particularly the one on the Taneko refinery, highlight Ukraine's expanding reach and capability to strike deep within Russia.
