乌克兰总统泽连斯基宣布，乌克兰军队在夜间对深入俄罗斯境内的能源设施发动了新一轮空袭[1]。此次行动针对巴什科尔托斯坦和雅罗斯拉夫尔地区的炼油厂，其中前者距前线超过1300公里，后者距乌克兰边境近700公里[1]。乌军同时还打击了黑海军事目标[1]。俄罗斯防空部队声称击落了605架乌克兰无人机[1]。
俄军随后进行了报复性轰炸。从周三夜间至周四，俄军共发射4枚导弹和101架远程无人机对乌克兰进行空袭[1]，乌克兰防空部队截获或干扰了其中66架[1]。这轮轰炸造成至少3名平民丧生、22人受伤，其中基辅地区的空袭中有17人丧生[1]。
面对防空压力加重，泽连斯基表示："我们正尽可能与所有能协助供应拦截导弹的伙伴合作"[1]。北约秘书长马克·鲁特也在同步表态，称"我正与盟国讨论如何继续为乌克兰提供其急需的防空系统"[1]。乌克兰官员指出，对伊朗的战争已耗尽爱国者导弹拦截弹储备[1]。
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the country's armed forces conducted overnight strikes against oil facilities deep within Russian territory, targeting refineries in the Bashkortostan and Yaroslavl regions [1]. The Bashkortostan refinery lies more than 1,300 kilometers from the front lines, while the Yaroslavl facility is situated approximately 700 kilometers from Ukraine's border [1]. Ukrainian forces also targeted Black Sea military objectives during the same operation [1]. Russian air defense forces claimed to have shot down 605 Ukrainian drones in response to the attacks [1].
Russia continued its ongoing aerial campaign against Ukrainian positions, launching four missiles and 101 long-range drones between Wednesday night and Thursday [1]. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted or disrupted 66 of these unmanned aircraft [1]. The Russian strikes resulted in at least three civilian deaths and 22 injuries across Ukrainian territory, with 17 people killed in the Kyiv region alone [1].
Zelenskyy stressed Ukraine's urgent need for additional air defense capabilities, stating: "We are working with all partners who can help supply interceptor missiles as much as possible" [1]. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte echoed this sentiment, saying: "I am discussing with our allies how we can continue to provide Ukraine with the air defense systems it urgently needs" [1]. Ukrainian officials have indicated that the conflict has depleted the nation's stockpile of Patriot missile interceptors [1].
