Ukrainian Drones Attack a Russian Oil Pump Station, Russian Forces Announce New Occupation of Three Villages in Eastern Ukraine
On Saturday, Ukrainian drones attacked a Russian oil pump station, trying to force Moscow to cut oil production. Russia continued to consume Ukrainian territory: it announced on Saturday that it had occupied three more villages.
According to Reuters, Moscow, September 27: The oil pump station is located in the Chuvash Republic on the Volga River. According to the governor of the region, Oleg Nikolaev, the attack caused the station to shut down, with no casualties.
He said on Telegram that the attack occurred near the village of Konar, about 1,200 kilometers from Ukraine, with no casualties and only "minor" damage.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has increased its drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, targeting refineries and export terminals, aiming to reduce Moscow's revenue and force the Kremlin to start peace negotiations.
These attacks can reduce Russia's refining capacity by nearly one-fifth on certain days and interrupt exports from major ports, forcing Moscow to cut oil production.
