Ukraine’s military has launched coordinated strikes against strategic targets in Russia, including an oil refinery in Saratov and an airfield in Russian-occupied Crimea. These attacks, confirmed by Ukraine’s General Staff, come amid heightened tensions along the front lines and increased military activity in the region. Residents in several Russian cities and in occupied Crimea reported hearing explosions overnight on November 28, marking another significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
The strikes on the oil refinery in Sarat, a key industrial hub, are believed to have caused substantial damage to infrastructure and disrupted energy supplies in the region. Meanwhile, the attack on the airfield in Crimea, which is under Russian control, is thought to have targeted military assets and potential logistical support for Russian operations in the area. Both incidents highlight Ukraine’s efforts to strike at Russia’s strategic capabilities while also asserting its presence in the occupied territories.
Ukraine’s military has not provided detailed information about the casualties or the extent of damage caused by these strikes, but the attacks are seen as a clear signal of the intensifying conflict. As tensions rise, both sides are expected to continue their military operations, with potential for further escalations that could impact the broader geopolitical landscape.
