Overview
- Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces said on Wednesday that unmanned aerial vehicles struck gas condensate processing plants in the Purov district and Novyi Urengoy in Russia’s Yamal‑Nenets region.
- Kyiv said the drones travelled more than 3,000 kilometres, a range the military described as the deepest strike inside Russian territory to date.
- Regional Russian officials confirmed a fire at an energy complex in the Yamal‑Nenets area and, citing preliminary data, reported no casualties.
- The targeted sites are linked to major producers Gazprom and Novatek, and both companies had not immediately responded to requests for comment.
- The attack follows an uptick in Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy assets since late August and could hurt Moscow’s energy revenues and raise risks for wider escalation and airspace safety.
