Capital of Chuvashia, Russia, port on the Volga
Ukrainian forces have carried out long‑range strikes deep inside Russia, targeting drone components and oil infrastructure. Authorities report damage at facilities in Cheboksary and Samara, while Kyiv says other oil facilities and drones are being targeted. Russia reports drone activity and counterstrikes across multiple regions.
Ukraine has intensified drone strikes on Russian refineries, depots and fuel convoys, and the attacks have forced Russia to curb gasoline and jet-fuel exports, introduce local rationing and consider a full diesel export ban. Authorities and energy companies have formed a task force, opened antitrust probes and are planning imports and subsidies to stabilise supplies.
