Ukrainian drones flew almost 2,000 miles to hit fuel plants in the Russian Arctic

Fire Point said its FP-1 drones were used in one of the record-breaking strikes on Wednesday. Valentyn Ogirenko/REUTERS Ukraine used drones to strike Russian gas facilities some 2,000 miles away, a record for the war. The Russian governor of the attacked region said a fire had been started at one of the plants. Fire Point, a Ukrainian manufacturer, said its FP-1 fixed-wing drones were involved in one attack. Ukraine's drones flew nearly 2,000 miles into northwestern Siberia to strike two Russian gas facilities, a record distance for the war, said Ukrainian special forces. The strikes on Wednesday targeted a major plant in Novy Urengoy, a gas-producing city, and another facility about 60 miles south in the Purovsky district, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces, or SSO, said in a statement. Both are in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, a region in the Russian Arctic zone.
