Ukraine Targets Russian Industrial Sites in Extensive Drone Strikes

Ukraine has intensified its drone attacks on Russian infrastructure, targeting oil and power facilities across western Russia. Reports indicate that debris from a destroyed drone caused a fire at an industrial site in Kstovo, while an attempted drone strike on a nuclear power facility in the Smolensk region was thwarted by Russian air defenses, with no reported casualties. In response to these threats, Russian authorities have temporarily halted flights at Kazan airport for safety reasons. Meanwhile, Russian drone attacks on Ukraine resulted in injuries to eight individuals and damage to various structures, prompting the Ukrainian air force to announce the interception of numerous drones. Both sides claim to avoid civilian targets amidst their ongoing conflict, which has escalated since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022. The situation remains fluid, with both nations maintaining a stance of retaliation and defense.
