Russia’s fuel infrastructure remains under attack
According to publicly available data, both Mikhailovsk and Tver are located approximately 500 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border.
This indicates that drone strikes are increasingly targeting facilities located deep within Russian territory.
In recent months, large oil refineries have been the main targets of drone strikes. At the same time, direct attacks on oil depots have become less frequent recently.
The night before, on the night of July 9, strikes were reported on two Russian oil refineries—in Saratov and Nizhnekamsk (Republic of Tatarstan)—as well as on the Borisoglebsk military airfield in the Voronezh region.
In addition, according to Ukrainian sources, the Security Service of Ukraine struck the “Cherkasy” production and dispatch station in the Republic of Bashkortostan. This facility is located approximately 1,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
