Kyiv Struck as Ukraine Targets Russian Refineries, Shadow Fleet
A fire was sparked at Russia’s Ilsky oil refinery in the southern Krasnodar region by Ukrainian drone debris, injuring five people, the regional task force said on Saturday, as Russia and Ukraine exchanged overnight attacks including a large-scale missile barrage on Kyiv.
Ukrainian forces targeted Russia's Ilsky oil refinery in southern Krasnodar, causing a fire that injured five people. This comes after a series of missile attacks on Kyiv, with three fatalities and three more injured reported. Russia retaliated by destroying 397 Ukrainian drones overnight and another 83 on Saturday morning. Kyiv has become increasingly susceptible to ballistic missile strikes due to a shortage of Patriot interceptors.
Additionally, Ukrainian and Russian forces continued their naval war in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, targeting vessels from each other's "shadow fleet."
