   Ukrainian Drones Strike Targets 2,500 Kilometers Inside Russia

   Ukrainian long-range drones struck industrial and petrochemical targets deep inside Russian territory, reaching locations approximately 2,500 kilometers from the border on October 24. Monitoring channels and local authorities reported attacks on the Omsky Kauchuk synthetic rubber producer and Ozon's logistics hub in the western Siberian city of Omsk, alongside a separate drone strike that damaged an industrial facility and injured five people in the Perm region. Additional strikes targeted the Azot chemical plant in the Perm region and the Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, highlighting an unprecedented expansion of Kyiv's long-range strike capabilities.

   Why it matters

   These long-range operations demonstrate Ukraine's growing capacity to project military power deep into the Russian interior, targeting critical industrial and supply chain infrastructure far from the front lines. The strikes hit economic and logistical nodes in western Siberia and the Urals that support Russia's war machine. Such attacks force Moscow to divert air defense resources away from active combat zones to protect distant industrial centers.
