A source familiar with the matter told the Kyiv Independent that Ukraine’s Security Service carried out an attack on an oil facility north of Moscow on the morning of December 31.
According to Rokna, Ukraine has intensified its campaign of strikes against oil facilities inside Russia and in Russian-occupied territories throughout 2025.
