Ukrainian drone strikes hit Russian industrial sites and energy facilities
Ukrainian drone strikes hit key Russian infrastructure in Taganrog, Tatarstan, and Leningrad Oblast, causing casualties and industrial damage alongside ongoing front-line positional shifts.
Further details have emerged following extensive drone exchanges between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian drone strikes targeted several Russian infrastructure locations, including electrical substations in Taganrog, where regional officials reported one death and multiple injuries alongside damage to a railway-powering facility. A fire was also reported at a Sibur petrochemical enterprise in Tatarstan.
In Leningrad Oblast, regional Governor Alexander Drozdenko confirmed a civilian fatality in Vsevolozhsk after drone debris struck a residential rooftop, alongside hits on an industrial zone in Kirishi. These incidents follow earlier reports of damage to port infrastructure in Ust-Luga and energy facilities in Kryvyi Rih and Kharkiv.
Concurrently, ground operations remain active. Ukrainian forces secured new positions in western Mala Tokmachka, while Russian troops expanded control near Kostiantynivka and advanced northwest of Pokrovsk.
