Ukraine's Drone Offensive Targets Russian Oil Tankers and Refineries at Industrial Scale

Ukraine launched a massive drone offensive against Russian oil tankers and refineries, striking at 'industrial scale' over three days, and Moscow responded by banning diesel exports in response to the attacks that targeted 21 vessels and major refineries deep inside Russia. The Ukrainian attack was described as one of its broadest recent strikes on Russia's maritime and energy networks. The Russian ban on diesel exports is seen as a significant escalation in retaliation for the drone strikes, which have been ongoing since September.
