Ukraine launches drone attacks on Russia, targets energy infrastructure
Ukraine launched a drone barrage targeting Russia overnight, with strikes reported across eight regions, including Moscow and areas bordering Ukraine.
The Russian Defense Ministry said 50 drones were shot down, but two civilians died in Belgorod after a drone strike sparked a fire.
Ukrainian officials haven't commented on the attacks, but many strikes appeared aimed at Russian energy infrastructure. Fires erupted at electrical substations and fuel complexes in Kaluga, Bryansk, and Smolensk regions. This comes after recent Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries.
Meanwhile, Russia attacked Ukraine with missiles and drones, with Ukraine's air force claiming to shoot down five. Odesa reported infrastructure damage from ballistic missiles, following Friday's attack that hit food export terminals. Shelling in Kharkiv killed one civilian and injured another. (ILKHA)
