Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian refineries following missile and drone attacks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the resumption of strikes against Russian oil refineries, stating that an informal energy ceasefire has ended following widespread attacks on Ukraine's energy grid. Ukrainian officials reported using domestically produced Neptune missiles against a military airfield in southwestern Russia and hitting a refinery south of Moscow, while Russian forces launched over 320 drones and missiles against Ukrainian power facilities. The full extent of damage on both sides has not been independently corroborated.
