Ukraine is hitting oil facilities deep inside Russia. Soaring fuel prices could blunt the impact
Ukrainian drones are flying deep into Russia to strike oil facilities, sending up plumes of smoke that can be seen from space and bringing toxic rain to tourist destinations on the Black Sea. The attacks are aimed at slashing Moscow’s oil exports, a key source of funding for its grinding invasion of Ukraine.

The town is roughly 450 kilometers (280 miles) from the front lines. In a video posted by local Gov. Veniamin Kondratyev after the third attack on April 18, an emergency official said boiling oil products had spilled onto the street, damaging cars.
