Patrick BishopHOST
Sorry, one of Russia's largest gas complexes, which is nearly three thousand kilometers from the Ukrainian border.
Patrick BishopHOST
So, uh, the Ukrainian General Staff and the Special Operations Forces reported on September the 9th that Ukrainian forces had struck the Novy Urengoy gas condensate stream implant and the Purovsky gas processing plant in, uh, the, uh, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug region.
Patrick BishopHOST
That's roughly two thousand eight hundred kilometers from, uh...
Patrick BishopHOST
They're both about, there or thereabouts, two thousand eight hundred kilometers from the Ukrainian border.

Responsible Statecraft, written by Pavel Deviyakin.
Dave DeCampHOST
And this is something I missed, that last week on September 9th, Ukrainian drones struck two gas processing plants in the Yamalo-Nenets region, located about 1,900 miles from the Ukrainian border.
Dave DeCampHOST
This is Ukraine's deepest strike on Russia since the war began, and Arctic energy infrastructure in the Yamal region produces around 80% of Russia's natural gas.
Dave DeCampHOST
So kind of a big escalation.
speaker_1HOST
Right.
speaker_0HOST
But more shockingly, their drones have reached as far as the Novy Urengoy gas infrastructure in the Yamalo-Nenets region.
speaker_0HOST
We are talking about deep Siberia.
speaker_0HOST
That is thousands of kilometers from the front line.
Charles MaynesCORRESPONDENT
For months, Ukraine has shown a capacity to strike deep in the Russian interior, part of a strategy designed to make Russians experience a war that has raged some four and a half years.
Charles MaynesCORRESPONDENT
Yet Ukraine's attack on two gas facilities in Siberia's Yamal and the Nets region, some 1,800 miles from the front line, is believed to be the deepest strike to date.
Charles MaynesCORRESPONDENT
Ukrainian drones also targeted another oil facility and logistics warehouse in the city of Saratov and carried out strikes in the Volgograd and Tula regions.
Charles MaynesCORRESPONDENT
Those attacks came just a day after Ukrainian drones set fire to the lone Caspian Sea port in the Republic of Dagestan and attacked the main beach promenade in Russia's resort city of Sochi, injuring more than two dozen people.
Mike BakerHOST
All right, turning now to the war in Ukraine, where a part of Russia that had largely escaped Kyiv's long-range drone campaign is no longer quite as so far out of reach.
Mike BakerHOST
More than one thousand nine hundred miles from Ukraine, Russia's remote Yamalo-Nenets region in Western Siberia had remained untouched by Kyiv's attacks on Russian critical infrastructure.
Mike BakerHOST
Well, that changed on Wednesday when Ukrainian drones reached this remote Arctic territory, and it's that distance that makes this strike so remarkable.
Mike BakerHOST
Now, as I've discussed here on the PDB, Ukraine has spent much of the war steadily expanding the reach of its drone campaign, hitting Russian oil refineries, storage facilities, and export infrastructure hundreds of miles from the Ukrainian border.
Mike BakerHOST
The regional governor there says a drone was shot down and that falling debris caused a fire.
Mike BakerHOST
No casualties were reported, and the extent of the damage is still being assessed.
Mike BakerHOST
Now, Yamalo-Nenets in Western Siberia rarely comes up during one's dinner conversation.
Mike BakerHOST
But when it comes to keeping Russia's enormous energy industry running, it is difficult to overstate its importance.
Andrew MuellerHOST
[laughs] Well, we will start in Russia, presently sweeping up after Ukraine's longest range strike inside its borders to date.
Andrew MuellerHOST
Two Ukrainian-built Fire Point FP-1 drones hit gas processing facilities in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in Russia's high Arctic North, circa three thousand kilometers from Ukraine's border.
Andrew MuellerHOST
That's about the distance from London to Aleppo or, or New York City to Salt Lake City.
Andrew MuellerHOST
Significantly, the Yamalo-Nenets district produces about eighty percent of Russia's natural gas and hosts thirteen percent of its oil.
