A UAV struck the new UFIM oil refining plant in Ufa, Bashkiria, earlier today, September 13th, according to Exilenova+. The extent of damage and any potential impact on operations have not yet been detailed. This incident occurred amidst broader geopolitical developments, including Denmark's announcement of an additional $375 million in aid to Ukraine and President Donald Trump's reiterated conditions for sanctioning Russia. Trump has stated he is ready to impose tariffs on China ranging from 50% to 100%, contingent on their withdrawal after the conclusion of the war with Russia and Ukraine. His condition for sanctioning Russia requires all NATO allies to agree to completely halt purchases of Russian oil and implement their own sanctions. In related news, Britain's top diplomat in Estonia, Ambassador David Smith, has joined military reserves. Meanwhile, Ukrainian intelligence reported that Russia plans to produce nearly 2,500 high-precision missiles in 2025, with significant increases in other military hardware production. Footage has also shown Belarusian-Russian Zapad-2025 exercises near the Polish border.
