Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Oil prices rose on Friday due to tensions between Russia and Ukraine remaining high and concerns over oil demand from the US and China.<\/p>\n

The international oil benchmark of Brent crude rose 0.38% to $74.28 per barrel at 9.18 a.m. local time (0618 GMT), up from the previous session’s close of $74.23.<\/p>\n

The US benchmark West Texas Intermediate also increased by 0.11% to $70.18 per barrel, compared to $70.1 at the prior session’s close.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Ukraine’s Air Force reported that Russian forces conducted an airstrike on the city of Dnipro, deploying various weapons, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, according to a statement shared on Telegram.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the largest and well-known industrial complexes from the Soviet Union, which today produces missile technology and other weapons, was hit in the city of Dnipro in Ukraine,\u201d Putin said in a live video address.<\/p>\n

The attack comes a day after Ukraine\u2019s first use of US long-range ATACMS missiles on Russian soil, following authorization from US President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

The Guardian reported earlier this week that the UK would soon approve the use of Storm Shadow missiles to target Russian territory.<\/p>\n

The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, cautioned that such actions would significantly escalate the West’s confrontation with Russia and promised a response.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, concerns over oil demand from the US and China, the world\u2019s largest crude consumers, continue to temper price increases despite geopolitical uncertainties.<\/p>\n
