The attacks come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced an intensification of strikes on Russian territory.

In the industrial city of Volzhsky in the Volgograd Oblast, a man was killed at a synthetic fiber plant, while a woman was seriously injured and taken to hospital, Governor Andrey Bocharov said. He also reported a fire at a power station in the southern part of the region, as well as damage to a residential building.

Authorities in Yaroslavl Oblast confirmed that industrial fuel storage facilities were hit in a major drone attack. According to Governor Mikhail Evrayev, the fire was extinguished and there were no injuries. A road connecting the region with Moscow was temporarily closed.

In the port city of Temryuk on the Sea of Azov, debris from a downed drone sparked a fire, though local authorities reported no casualties.

Both sides report hundreds of drones

According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, the Ukrainian attacks targeted 13 Russian regions. The ministry stated that 208 drones were shot down, but, as usual, it did not provide details about successful strikes or the total number of drones launched.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Air Force said that Russia attacked Ukraine overnight with an Iskander ballistic missile and 232 drones. It stated that 217 drones were neutralized, but also acknowledged multiple successful hits. The military did not provide details about the impacted locations or the extent of the damage.

Volodymyr Zelensky previously explained that the purpose of attacks on facilities linked to Russia’s oil industry is to reduce Moscow’s energy export revenues, which are used to finance the war.

He added that the campaign of intensified strikes on Russia is also aimed at putting pressure on the Kremlin in order to bring Moscow to the negotiating table and secure what he described as a just end to the war.
