Energy giant Naftogas has reported sustaining \u201ccritical\u201d damage in the long-range operation<\/strong><\/p>\n Russian forces have struck multiple Ukrainian military facilities and the gas infrastructure that powers them in an overnight long-range operation, the Defense Ministry reported on Friday.<\/p>\n The ministry said missiles and long-range drones launched overnight from several platforms were used in the barrage and that all designated targets were hit.<\/p>\n Ukrainian state-owned energy company Naftogaz described the attack as the largest strike on gas extraction sites in the country to date, adding that some of the damage was “critical.”<\/em> The company said sites in the Kharkov and Poltava regions came under attack by about 35 missiles – many of them ballistic – and some 60 drones, and claimed the strikes were “without military sense.”<\/em> Moscow has said its forces do not target purely civilian infrastructure.<\/p>\n Kiev has emphasized long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries and other elements of energy infrastructure as a key element of its strategy and has pressed Western partners to support domestic production of drones and missiles.<\/p>\n Ukraine also intends to export some domestically produced weapons to help cover budget shortfalls. Kiev expects foreign backers to compensate for the remaining deficit.<\/p>\n
