war.obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian) —

Ukrainian forces resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries, hitting the Bashneft-Novoil plant in Ufa on Saturday, ending a two-week pause in attacks on fuel infrastructure. The strike targeted a catalytic reforming unit that produces high-octane gasoline components, with local residents reporting drone flyovers, gunfire, explosions, and a large fire with black smoke. The plant is a third-level subsidiary of Rosneft, led by Igor Sechin. The attack comes after Russian officials claimed over 90% of damaged refinery capacity had been repaired during the pause, claims now being tested by renewed Ukrainian strikes.
