A fire broke out at the Ilsky oil refinery, and five people were wounded in Russia's Krasnodar region following a Ukrainian drone attack, local authorities said on Saturday.
Separately, drones targeted an industrial facility in Russia's Samara region, regional governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said, without identifying the enterprise.
Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses had destroyed 397 Ukrainian drones over multiple regions overnight.
Reuters could not independently verify battlefield reports from either side of the conflict.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
