In Ufa, the capital of Bashkortostan, a series of powerful explosions rocked the city this morning. A massive fire erupted near an oil refinery, sending a plume of black smoke high into the sky. Preliminary data indicates that the first explosions were recorded around 9:30 AM Kyiv time. Local residents report that the target of the drone attack was specifically the oil refinery.
Attack Target — Strategic Facility
