Oil plant burns deep in Russia in drone attack

A Russian oil facility in the Perm region was set on fire on Wednesday. The facility is located about 1,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not directly comment on the attack, but said Ukrainian drones can reach targets at longer ranges than before.

The facility in the Ural Mountains is likely an oil storage facility, and the attack on it was carried out with a drone, according to the Perm governor.

Zelenskyy has posted a recording on Telegram showing a large cloud of black smoke. The president also noted that Ukraine is entering a new phase in the Russian invasion, when drone attacks can reach targets far into Russian territory.

The attack followed an earlier drone attack on a major oil facility in Krasnodar, Russia, according to the region's governor.
