The Ukrainian army has attacked targets deep into Russia with drones and missiles at night.
The Defense Ministry in Moscow said 326 enemy drones had been intercepted. This number cannot be independently verified, but it suggests a large-scale Ukrainian attack.
We continue to apply Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry. In particular, last night Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos struck a military plant in Cheboksary that supplies the occupying army with components for drones and missiles. I… pic.twitter.com/WdA2yUhsyC

Among other things, the Samara refinery on the Volga was hit, as Russian Telegram channels reported. According to authorities, two infrastructure objects were damaged in the Vladimir region east of Moscow. According to reports on Telegram, these are also oil industry facilities.
Among the targets reportedly struck overnight was the Kuibyshev Oil Refinery in Russia’s Samara region.

In Cheboksary on the Volga, authorities said three were injured after a rocket attack. A defense company could have been the target there. Drone alerts were also raised in the Siberian city of Omsk, 2,800 kilometers from Kiev. Omsk is home to Russia’s largest oil refinery. But nothing was known about an actual attack.
Early this morning, a Ukrainian Flamingo cruise missile slammed into Russia’s VNIIR Progress military electronics plant in Cheboksary.

History Museum in Sevastopol
In Sevastopol on the Russian-annexed Crimean peninsula, a drone crashed into a history museum, panorama of the siege of the city in the Crimean War in the 19th century. The head of the occupation administration, Mikhail Razvoshayev, spoke on Telegram of a targeted attack on a cultural institution.
However, this would be atypical for the Ukrainian army’s previous attack patterns. Conversely, Russia has damaged many museums, theaters, libraries, schools and churches in Ukraine in air strikes in more than four years of aggressive war.
Drone swarm hits Kharkiv
The Russian drone attacks that night hit the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, which is close to the border, the hardest. The regional administration reported 26 impacts within a short period of time. There were five injured. The Ukrainian Air Force counted 207 Russian drones overnight, of which 181 were intercepted. (cma/sda/dpa)
