Ukraine conducts one of its deepest reported attacks inside Russia, with Ukrainian drones striking an oil refinery in Siberia on Saturday, according to multiple outlets. The strike disrupts operations at the facility, and one report also says the attack affects a separate event in the Urals region, though details of the wider impact vary by outlet.
At the same time, Kazakhstan’s president tells Russian President Vladimir Putin that the war in Ukraine should end. The remarks are made during the president’s participation in a forum in the Siberian city of Omsk, where he urges Putin to stop the fighting. The outlets frame the comments as part of Kazakhstan’s diplomatic messaging to Russia amid the conflict.
Taken together, the reporting links a significant cross-border incident—Ukrainian drones targeting a Siberian energy site—with parallel diplomatic pressure from Kazakhstan directed at Russia’s leadership. No outlet provides additional official confirmation from either side beyond the reported statements and the reported operational disruption.
