Ukraine Launches Strikes on Saratov Oil Refinery and Crimea Airfield

Residents in several Russian cities and in occupied Crimea reported hearing explosions overnight on November 28, following claims by Ukraine’s General Staff that the country’s military struck the Saratov oil refinery and an airfield in the region. The attacks, described as significant by Ukrainian officials, were reportedly aimed at disrupting Russia’s energy infrastructure and military operations in the area. Ukraine’s military has consistently targeted critical infrastructure in response to perceived Russian aggression, with the latest strikes marking another escalation in the ongoing conflict.
