> Orenburg Governor Yevgeny Solntsev said Ukrainian drones damaged critical infrastructure at the Orsk oil refinery, forcing a complete shutdown. Repairs could take up to six months because replacement equipment is difficult to obtain under international sanctions. The region will rely on outside fuel supplies; 80% of its 287 gas stations are operating.
