Ukraine ramps up long-range drone strikes, targeting Russian energy sites

At a secret location in rural Ukraine, columns of attack drones are assembled at night and in near silence to strike deep inside Russia. Their targets are strategic: oil refineries, fuel depots, and military logistics hubs. Since the summer, Ukraine's long-range drone campaign has ramped up dramatically, pounding energy infrastructure across Russia and stretching Moscow's air defences thin. Built from parts made in a scattered network of workshops, these drones now fly much further than at any point in the war. Officers in body armour move with quick precision; headlamps glow red to stay hidden. Engines sputter like old motorcycles as exhaust fumes drift into the moonless night. Minutes later, one after another, the drones lift from a makeshift runway and head east. The strikes have caused gasoline shortages in Russia, even forcing rationing in some regions and underscoring a growing vulnerability in the country's infrastructure. Drones hammer ...

Russian oil import: Indian Oil says will abide by all applicable sanctions

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the nation's biggest oil company, will comply with all applicable sanctions, Chairman Arvinder Singh Sahney said on Monday, steering clear of remarks on purchases from Russia. Indian refiners are likely to scale back on the import of Russian oil to avoid secondary sanctions on shipping and banking after the US imposed fresh sanctions with a view to curbing Moscow's earnings from oil sales. "We will abide by all sanctions imposed by the international community," he said. He, however, refused to comment on the IOC's purchases of Russian oil. Russian oil made up for 21 per cent of the crude oil IOC imports during April-September. IOC's subsidiary Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd (CPCL) has halved Russian oil imports this month, coinciding with the fresh sanctions the US imposed on Russian oil.
