Ukraine has intensified its long-range strikes against Russia’s oil industry, targeting major facilities in the Samara and Volgograd regions, according to UATV English. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the first successful combat use of the Ukrainian FP-7 tactical ballistic missile, which has a maximum range of 200 kilometers and a warhead weighing up to 150 kilograms.
