Russia hits steel plant in new strikes on Ukraine, Kyiv attacks Moscow region
Russia launched a series of airstrikes on Ukraine overnight, resulting in the death of two individuals at a steel plant in Kryvyi Rih, the hometown of President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The facility, operated by ArcelorMittal, sustained damage to key power generation and blast furnace sectors, causing production processes to be partially halted.
In Kyiv, Ukraine, a heavy drone attack set ablaze a warehouse used by Russia's leading e-commerce retailer, Wildberries, killing one person and injuring three others, including a child. The incident marked one of the largest Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow since the conflict began. Romania reported an F-18 fighter from a NATO air policing mission shot down a drone that crossed its airspace from Moldova, though Russia claimed it was their own drone.
Additionally, a drone strike on a bus near Belgorod, a city bordering eastern Ukraine, resulted in one fatality. Ukraine also targeted Russian infrastructure, hitting a missile fuel production facility in the Rostov region. Romania's defense ministry reported an F-18 jet from a Spanish NATO contingent shot down a stray Russian drone in Romanian territory. Russia has not commented on the incident.
