**Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Refinery**
On February 11, Ukrainian forces attacked Russia‘s Saratov oil refinery. The attack was carried out by unmanned drones and targeted the facility in Saratov Oblast.

**Governor’s Statement**
Saratov Oblast Governor Roman Busargin confirmed that drones struck an industrial facility in the region, but did not specify whether it was the oil refinery.
