Russian strikes kill three in southeastern Ukraine as Kyiv reports attacks on targets in Ufa and Penza
The Facts
- Russian attacks killed at least three people in southeastern Ukraine, including one person in Dnipropetrovsk and two in Zaporizhzhia.
- In Dnipropetrovsk, Russian strikes damaged five petrol stations and caused fires, according to regional authorities.
- President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine struck an oil refinery in Ufa, more than 1,300 kilometers from the front line, and described it as the second strike on that refinery.
- Zelenskyy also said Ukraine hit a strategic military-industrial facility in Russia's Penza region that he said produces components for missile weapons.
- The reported Ukrainian strikes indicate Kyiv is continuing attacks deep inside Russian territory, beyond the immediate battlefield.
- Recent Russian attacks have increasingly hit Ukrainian fuel infrastructure, with reports of petrol-station strikes in both Dnipropetrovsk and, the previous night, Sumy.
- The full extent of damage from the reported Ukrainian strikes in Ufa and Penza was not confirmed in the source pool, with official confirmation centered on Zelenskyy's statement and limited local acknowledgment in Penza.
