Ukraine\u2019s military said it hit two major Russian oil refineries, an oil terminal and a depot, as well as 10 tankers in the Sea of Azov.<\/p>\n

Ilsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region, one of the largest in Russia\u2019s south, caught fire and the Ust-Luga oil refining \u200c\u200ccomplex in the Leningrad region was also struck, the general staff said on Telegram. Both are frequent targets of Ukrainian attacks.<\/p>\n

An oil terminal and an oil depot in the Rostov region were attacked, causing explosions \u2060\u2060and fire, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

Robert Brovdi, Ukraine\u2019s drone forces commander, said 10 tankers \u200c\u200cin the Sea of Azov were attacked on Friday, among almost 50 fuel-carrying vessels damaged this week as Kyiv aims \u200c\u200cto limit \u200c\u200cfuel supplies for enemy troops and isolate Crimea, which Russia occupied in 2014.<\/p>\n

Targeting oil tankers appears to be a new strategy by Ukraine, Al Jazeera\u2019s Audrey MacAlpine reported from Kyiv.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese ones in particular, according to Ukraine, refill, resupply the Russian-controlled peninsula of Crimea,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also says that these tankers are part of Russia\u2019s shadow fleet, which is a term used to describe unmarked ships that carry what Ukraine says is illegal oil, meaning that these are sanctioned vessels,\u201d MacAlpine said.<\/p>\n

This is part of what Ukraine is calling \u201ca logistics lockdown\u201d, hitting highways, railways and any sort of logistical artery that feeds the peninsula, she explained.<\/p>\n

Moscow bans gasoline and diesel fuel exports<\/h2>\n

Russia\u2019s deputy prime minister said on Friday that Ukrainian drone strikes on energy infrastructure are causing fuel shortages.<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists in Tver region, northwest of Moscow, Novak said: \u201cThe shortage is due to obvious reasons, because our oil refineries are partially out of order for repairs due to [Ukrainian drone] arrivals\u201d.<\/p>\n

Saying that authorities are doing everything possible to strengthen the security of oil refineries and ensure their production capacity is fully utilised, Novak added that Moscow\u2019s temporary ban on gasoline and diesel fuel exports is aimed at \u201cstabilising the situation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Russia currently has sufficient fuel processing capacity, he said, adding that authorities are seeking to ensure additional fuel deliveries to Russian regions.<\/p>\n

Late last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged that Ukrainian strikes on Russia\u2019s energy infrastructure had contributed to fuel shortages, but insisted it was \u201cnot critical\u201d.<\/p>\n

Al Jazeera\u2019s Yulia Shapovalova, reporting from Moscow, said that more than 50 million people, almost a third of Russia\u2019s population, have been affected by the fuel crisis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
