In the Volgograd region of southern Russia, an oil refinery became the target of a drone attack believed to originate from Ukraine.
Governor Andrey Bocharov confirmed reports of a brief fire resulting from the attack but assured the public of successful containment and no casualties.
The incident underscores a recent surge in drone attacks on Russian energy facilities, allegedly in retaliation for Moscow's strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Russia's defence ministry announced the interception and destruction of drones and ballistic missiles launched by Ukraine, further escalating tensions.
Additionally, the city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine experienced shelling from Ukrainian forces, resulting in civilian injuries, as tensions between the two nations continue to escalate.
