Ukraine Drone Strike Hits Yaroslavl Refinery; Russia Extends Diesel Export Ban
Ukraine struck the 300,000 bpd Yaroslavl refinery near Moscow, damaging a unit co-owned by Rosneft and Gazprom Neft, in a joint drone operation. The attack signals no partial truce on energy infrastructure despite earlier reports, while Russia prepares to extend its diesel export ban through October. The strike may tighten diesel supply and escalate energy-infrastructure targeting.
