Hundreds of Ukrainian drones target Russia in overnight strikes

Russia said it intercepted 456 Ukrainian drones in overnight attacks targeting around 15 regions, including Tatarstan in central Russia and annexed Crimea. The strikes hit industrial and civilian sites, leaving several people dead, according to local authorities.

In one of the attacks, Ukrainian partisans from the ATESH movement carried out a sabotage operation near Voronezh, destroying the cab of an electric locomotive used to support military transport. The locomotive was bound for the Kupiansk direction, a sector of the front in Kharkiv Oblast, and its damage disrupted the schedule for forming and dispatching trains.

Ukrainian forces also targeted a Russian oil refinery in Tatarstan, and there were reports of a blackout in occupied Simferopol and fires in Donetsk Oblast. According to the Kyiv Independent, eyewitnesses posted footage of drones flying over the Russian city of Nizhnekamsk in the Republic of Tatarstan as the oil refinery was targeted.
