Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian oil refineries

Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russia's oil industry, striking the Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery in Samara Oblast in the early hours. Reports say 11 separate areas of the complex are burning, possibly a record number of hits on a single Russian facility. Commenters claim Ukraine is no longer following White House guidance restricting strikes on Russian energy targets, amid ongoing debate over Western limits on Kyiv's long-range operations.

Why now: Renewed Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure signal Kyiv may be defying US pressure to hold back.
