Drones from Ukraine fly 2,500 kilometers to Siberia

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Drones from Ukraine fly 2,500 kilometers to Siberia.

Ukrainian drones are said to have flown more than 2,500 kilometers to Siberia to attack Russia's largest refinery there, according to a report by Spiegel. The news magazine cites corresponding reports and writes that there are reports of fires at the facility.

What the report reveals

Spiegel cites an approach distance of more than 2,500 kilometers to Siberia — several thousand kilometers from the Ukrainian border, beyond the Urals. The report, in its current form, contains no specific information on damage, the time of the attack, the number or type of drones used, or on official statements from Kyiv or Moscow.

What remains open

The cited 2,500-kilometer approach distance is, geographically speaking, an exceptionally deep strike into Russian state territory. It remains unclear how many drones were deployed, what type they were, and how the distance could be covered. Independent confirmation through footage, satellite images, or official statements from Kyiv or Moscow is also still pending, according to the Spiegel report.
