Ukrainian Drones Strike Saratov Oil Refinery and OZON Warehouse in Russia

Ukrainian drones carried out strikes on the Saratov oil refinery and an OZON logistics warehouse in Russia in the early hours of September 11, Ukrainian sources reported. The attack represents a significant deep-strike operation targeting Russian energy and commercial infrastructure.

Refinery and Warehouse Hit

The Saratov oil refinery, located in the Saratov region of Russia, was reportedly struck by Ukrainian long-range drones. An OZON warehousing facility, belonging to one of Russia's largest e-commerce companies, was also reported hit in the same operation. Fires were reported at both sites.

Escalating Deep Strikes

Ukraine has been conducting an increasing number of drone strikes deep inside Russian territory over the past year. Ukrainian officials argue these strikes target military-relevant infrastructure and are a legitimate response to Russia's sustained bombing campaign against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.

Russian Response

Russian officials and regional authorities issued statements about drone attacks but did not immediately confirm the extent of the damage. Russia's air defense forces reportedly worked to intercept the Ukrainian drones. Emergency services were dispatched to affected sites.
