Russia has stepped up drone and missile attacks on Ukraine's civilian petrol stations, hitting at least 246 so far. The campaign began in April and is growing more frequent, primarily in front-line regions. Russia is deploying deadlier Iranian-manufactured Shahed drones, according to Ukrainian energy think tank Nafto Rynok, citing an instance where a single facility was struck five times.
