Ukrainian Drones Strike Slavneft-YANOS Refinery in Yaroslavl; 3rd Night of Leningrad Oil Terminal Attacks
Ukrainian drones struck the Slavneft-YANOS oil refinery in Yaroslavl overnight on March 28, igniting fires at one of Russia's largest refineries (capacity ~15 million tons/year; ~300,000 bbl/day). The facility is jointly owned by Rosneft and Gazprom and contributes to Russian military fuel logistics. Yaroslavl region governor reported 30+ drones intercepted over the region; fires broke out on the premises. Russian authorities confirmed 1 child killed and 3 others injured in civilian areas near the strike. The attack reached approximately 700 km northeast of the Ukrainian border, extending Ukraine's long-range strike campaign to a new depth. Simultaneously, Ukrainian long-range FP-5 'Flamingo' missiles struck the Promsintez explosives plant in Chapayevsk (Samara Oblast), one of Russia's largest explosives manufacturers. Oil terminals in Leningrad Oblast were struck for a third consecutive night, extending the campaign that began with the March 25 Ust-Luga strike. Ukraine's sustained energy campaign in March 2026 has now hit infrastructure across more than 10 Russian regions.
