Ukrainian Drones Disrupt Russia's Oil and Gas Sector

TL;DR Summary
Ukraine is suspected of using small drones to target Russia's oil and gas facilities, causing fires and disrupting supply lines. The attacks aim to hamper Russian military operations and damage a lucrative industry that has not been significantly affected by Western sanctions. Russia's air defense systems have proven ineffective against small drones, allowing Ukraine to hit targets deeper inside Russian territory. In a particularly bold move, a drone reportedly flew over President Putin's palace during an attack on a St. Petersburg oil depot.
