Overview
- A Russian missile strike on the city of Dnipro on Monday killed at least five people and wounded about 20, local authorities said, underscoring continuing Russian attacks on Ukrainian population centres.
- Ukrainian drones carried out a 'massive' strike on the Slaviansk‑sur‑Kouban refinery in Krasnodar over the weekend that caused a fire and at least one death, regional officials reported.
- Russia's Defence Ministry said it intercepted about 213 Ukrainian drones in one night, while regional administrations in Volgograd and Belgorod reported damage and casualties from Ukrainian strikes.
- President Vladimir Putin acknowledged a 'certain' fuel shortage in Russia following the attacks and pledged to strengthen security and restore supplies, a rare public concession about domestic strain.
- The exchanges form part of a recent shift by Kyiv to target energy and transport nodes deep inside Russia to cut revenues and logistics for Moscow, while diplomatic mediation remains paused.
