Summary

A new type of Ukrainian drone may have been used to bomb a pumping station on Russia’s Druzhba oil pipeline near the Belarusian border.

Unlike previous kamikaze drone attacks, these drones reportedly dropped bombs before possibly crashing into the target in a “double-tap” strike.

This development suggests Ukraine could be transitioning to reusable drone bombers, increasing operational flexibility.

The attack highlights Kyiv’s ongoing campaign against Russian oil infrastructure as the war continues to escalate.
