Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russia's Volgograd oil refinery, marking another significant strike against Russian energy infrastructure deep inside the country. The attack demonstrates Ukraine's growing capability to hit strategic targets far from the front lines.

The Volgograd refinery is one of Russia's largest oil processing facilities, and damaging it could impact Russia's ability to fuel its military operations. Ukrainian officials confirmed the strike was part of a broader strategy to degrade Russia's war-making capacity.

The attack comes as the war enters its third year, with both sides increasingly using drones to strike targets behind enemy lines. Russia has repeatedly targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure, and these strikes represent Ukraine's response in kind.

Military analysts say the strikes show how drone warfare has transformed modern conflict, allowing smaller forces to challenge larger ones by targeting critical infrastructure. The attacks also demonstrate Western technology's role in Ukrainian military capabilities.

For Gen Z following the conflict through social media, these strikes represent a new phase of the war where technology allows precision attacks without massive troop deployments.
