'No safe regions': Ukraine blasts Siberia refinery 1,550 miles from border
A daytime drone strike crippled the Tyumen oil refinery in Siberia on Saturday in what could be Kyiv’s deepest raid into Russian territory yet, as it accelerates devastating long-range attacks on the Kremlin’s critical energy infrastructure.
Local residents heard at least two loud explosions mid-day, as staff were evacuated from the plant and more than 10 fire trucks rushed over, according to the Moscow Times’ Telegram channel.
A thick plume of black smoke could be seen emanating from the refinery as fire raged at the largest oil processing facility in Western Siberia — about 1,550 miles from the Ukrainian border.“
An effective strike,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on X Saturday afternoon, adding Kyiv’s upgraded drones can now strike as far as 1,800 miles inside Russia.
“Deeper further. There will be no safe regions in Russia,” Serhii Sternenko, an advisor to Ukraine’s defense minister, wrote on X Saturday. “Ukraine will bury the Russian colony.”
