Ukraine’s drone playbook is wreaking havoc in Russia

Ukrainian drone attacks have intensified against Russian oil tankers and refineries, with coverage describing strikes at an 'industrial scale.' Multiple tankers have been set ablaze, and Moscow has responded by banning diesel exports, according to reports. The strikes appear to target both storage and transport hubs, raising concerns about supply chain disruptions. Outlets including **Fox News**, **AP News**, **The Hill**, and **Bloomberg** are reporting on the escalation, emphasizing the breadth of the attacks and their impact on Russia’s energy sector.

The focus is on the operational scale of the drone campaign, with Bloomberg noting Ukraine’s expansion of targets beyond previous strikes. No immediate claims of responsibility from Kyiv have been confirmed. Watch for potential ripple effects on global oil markets, further Russian countermeasures, or statements from Ukrainian officials clarifying the campaign’s objectives.

Coverage may also shift to assessing the durability of Russia’s energy infrastructure under sustained drone pressure.
