"Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Depot as Both Countries Report Drone Attacks"

Ukraine has targeted a Russian oil depot in the Kursk region, causing an explosion and prompting the Kremlin to ban fuel exports for six months in response to the strikes on oil and gas facilities. The British Ministry of Defence suggested that Russia's refining capacity had been temporarily reduced by multiple drone strikes. Russian fuel prices have risen by around 10% this year, with shortages linked to attacks on infrastructure and the impact of Western sanctions.
