Ukraine Targets Russian Oil Pumping Station in Chuvashia 1,200 Kilometers From Border

The long-range strike extends a campaign credited with intermittent refinery outages that disrupted exports.

Overview

  • Chuvashia governor Oleg Nikolaev confirmed a Ukrainian drone hit a pumping station near the village of Konar.
  • Regional officials reported no injuries and described the damage as minor, though operations were suspended.
  • The site lies roughly 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine, marking one of the deepest reported strikes inside Russia.
  • Daily Times also reported drone activity at the Salavat petrochemical complex, underscoring the campaign’s growing reach.
  • Analysts cited by the outlet say earlier strikes at energy infrastructure at times cut refining capacity by nearly 20% and warn sustained pressure could force near‑term production curbs.
