Ukrainian drones strike Russia’s key gas-producing region for the first time — 2,800 kilometers from Ukraine

On an unprecedented operation, Ukrainian drones targeted the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, a key gas-producing region located 2,800 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, for the first time, according to Governor Dmitry Artyukhov. The attack resulted in a fire at an industrial facility in Novy Urengoy, but fortunately, no casualties or injuries were reported.

Artem Zhoga, the presidential envoy to the Urals, confirmed that a Ukrainian drone had attempted to hit a fuel and energy facility in Yamal. This marks Ukraine's deepest strike inside Russia, as the drones reached a region responsible for producing 80% of the country's natural gas.
