Over the past 14 minutes, between 7:16 AM and 7:30 AM UTC on September 12th, 2025, multiple Russian energy infrastructure sites were reportedly hit by Ukrainian drone strikes, including a "Transneft" pumping hub in the Vladimir region and the Cardimovo oil depot in the Smolensk region. Meanwhile, the New York Times reported that Russia has been shelling a laboratory at the Physico-Technical Institute in Kharkiv, which stores tens of kilograms of uranium, raising concerns about a potential radiation accident. The Cardimovo oil depot, owned by Lukoil-Centrnefteproduct OOO and with a tank park capacity of approximately 10,900 cubic meters for light petroleum products, was hit at least twice, according to reports from the [@cyber_boroshno](https://twitter.com/cyber_boroshno) X account. The coordinates for the site were provided as 54.8808377,32.4323010. The New York Times, citing [@visionergeo](https://twitter.com/visionergeo), stated that the laboratory in Kharkiv has been targeted 74 times since the Russian invasion, with the building sustaining damage from drones, missiles, and artillery. The institute is located 22 km from the front line, and while its device was put into a long-term shutdown mode after the invasion, the stored uranium makes each strike a potential disaster. Earlier this morning, prior to this reporting window, reports indicated drone attacks on objects within the Russian Federation, including a "Neftebase" in the Smolensk region and the port of "Primorsk." Japan also announced new sanctions against 47 Russian companies and nine individuals, including freezing assets and reducing the price cap on Russian crude oil imports to $47.6 per barrel. Separately, Prince Harry arrived in Kyiv amid ongoing fighting in the Dobropillya region of Ukraine.
