Ukraine conducts large-scale drone strikes on Russian oil refineries and tankers.
Ukrainian forces carried out extensive drone attacks on Russian oil infrastructure between July 6 and July 10, 2026, targeting refineries deep inside Russia and oil tankers in the Sea of Azov. The strikes hit facilities including the Omsk refinery in Siberia and multiple vessels supplying Crimea, contributing to reported fuel shortages across Russian regions. The attacks coincided with a NATO summit in Ankara where U.S. President Donald Trump announced a license for Ukraine to manufacture Patriot air defense systems.
