Zelensky: Ukraine's SSU struck three Russian oil refineries in Bashkortostan overnight.

"Middle Strike" missiles also sank the Russian container ship "Yanina" in the Black Sea and Azov Sea areas.

Ukraine's Security Service says it uncovered six more cases of Russia using depleted uranium in drones launched at the Chernihiv region. Lab tests identified uranium-235 and uranium-238 isotopes in the warheads, with radiation at the sites measured above natural background. A war crimes investigation has been opened.

A Ukrainian USV struck the AVERO oil tanker in the Black Sea near Novorossiysk. The vessel belongs to Russia's "Shadow Fleet." Fourth such tanker hit by the SBU in 10 days.

Ukraine's SBU destroyed a Russian Tu-95 strategic bomber at Engels airbase.

Two Russian "shadow fleet" oil tankers, the Louise 1 and Banda, were hit by naval drones in the Black Sea. Ukraine's SBU and Navy carried out the strike to disrupt sanctions-evading oil exports funding Russia's war.

Ukrainian President Zelensky:

"Sadly, the Russian side have once again chosen war... Today, I have approved new SBU's operations."

Earlier today, Ukraine's SBU struck Metafraks Kemikals in Russia's Perm region, roughly 1,700 km from the border. The plant supplies materials for aviation, drones, rocket engines, and explosives. Production has stopped.
