Ukraine Downs 190 of 210 Drones in New Russian Barrage as Kyiv Hits Refineries Deep Inside Russia

The overnight exchange underscores a widening aerial campaign that targets cities as well as energy infrastructure on both sides.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia launched 210 attack drones overnight, including Shahed variants, and reported 190 were shot down or jammed as strikes were logged at 14 locations across the country.
  • Odesa faced repeated hits this week, with officials reporting 18 people wounded after earlier strikes and two more injured after new drone impacts that damaged two high‑rise buildings and set apartments on fire.
  • Ukraine’s Security Service said long‑range drones struck the Lukoil refinery in Perm, claiming damage to the AVT‑4 primary distillation unit and a nearby pumping station, while the military reported a hit on the Orsk refinery in Orenburg.
  • Local authorities and monitoring channels reported another attack on Tuapse on the Black Sea coast, where fires have followed multiple strikes on the refinery and marine terminal and where emergency crews have been battling pollution and damage.
  • Regional updates described civilians killed and injured in Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson, power cuts in several oblasts, and hundreds of daily frontline clashes, as Kyiv argues these dueling strikes show the need for more air defenses and the pressure on Russia’s fuel supply.
