A Ukrainian drone strike sparked a fire at the Tyumen oil refinery more than 2,000 km inside Russia, while the same overnight campaign also targeted sites near Engels strategic bomber base and logistics around Yekaterinburg, Ukrainian and Russian reporting said.

Reuters reported a 25 July 2026 Ukrainian drone strike that set the Tyumen (TNPZ / Antipinsky) refinery ablaze before local officials said the fire was extinguished. Kyiv Post and other outlets linked the same wave to alerts and fires near Engels-2 in Saratov oblast and logistics around Yekaterinburg. Zelenskyy publicly listed strikes on a Kirov weapons facility, Tyumen refinery, Yekaterinburg logistics and a Rostov fuel depot in the same campaign window. This package is the deep-strike energy/military logistics night as multi-sourced, not a full BDA of every aimpoint. Caspian shipping claims involving Iran are tracked only as context where sourced, not as a separate Caspian theatre event here.
