Ukrainian Drone Strike Kills 1, Injures 3 in Southern Russia A Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and injured three in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region, local officials reported Saturday, marking another escalation in Kyiv’s campaign of strikes targeting military and energy infrastructure deep within Russia. The strike, which occurred in the village of Volna, damaged a Black Sea export terminal that transports crude oil, petroleum products, and liquefied gas, according to Russian news outlets. Local Governor Veniamin Kondratyev confirmed the incident but provided no further details, while debris from the attack sparked a fire at the facility. Ukraine’s General Staff did not comment on the Krasnodar strike but disclosed that its forces had launched attacks on an oil preparation and pumping station in Russia’s Volgograd region overnight. Additionally, Ukrainian forces targeted Russian-occupied areas in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine. These strikes align with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s recent claims that Ukrainian forces had hit several military and energy infrastructure sites inside Russia, including a facility in Cheboksary, Chuvashiya region, which he alleged supplied components for Russian drones and missiles. Zelenskyy announced that Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo long-range missiles had struck the Cheboksary facility, located over 900 kilometers from the front line. The attack comes amid ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with both sides relying heavily on long-range strikes to counter each other’s advances. The front line, which has remained largely static for over four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion, has been hindered by swarms of drones, forcing both nations to escalate their use of precision weaponry.#russia #ukraine #krasnodar_region #volgograd_region #donetsk_region
