Kyiv Targets Russian Energy Infrastructure in Coordinated Drone Campaign

In Sevastopol, the impact of these strikes has paralyzed daily life. Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Russian-appointed governor, ordered the suspension of public transport and restricted cafe operating hours as the city grapples with severe fuel shortages. Dimmed street lighting and stalled trolleybuses have become the new reality for residents, with officials advising parents to keep children indoors as the local infrastructure struggles to maintain basic services.

These operations reflect a broader pattern of escalation throughout the year. Beyond the immediate disruption in occupied territories, the systematic targeting of refineries and power stations has triggered a noticeable rise in gasoline prices and restricted fuel availability across mainland Russia. While both Kyiv and Moscow maintain that their military operations avoid civilian targets, the mounting frequency of these attacks has disrupted regional stability and hampered the logistical foundations of Russia’s ongoing war effort.
