Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces struck targets in the Black Sea and in three Russian regions, according to Ukrinform.
Zelensky said the targets included a site in the Black Sea, a launch and storage facility for attack drones in Russia's Oryol region, an oil facility in Samara region, and a supply depot for Russian forces in Bryansk region. The strikes form part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign to target military and energy infrastructure inside Russia and in contested waters.
Ukraine has increasingly used long-range drones and other strike capabilities over the past two years to hit targets deep inside Russian territory, including oil refineries, drone production and storage sites, and military logistics hubs, as part of efforts to degrade Russia's ability to sustain its invasion.
Russian authorities have not issued an immediate detailed response to the specific strikes described by Zelensky, and independent verification of the full extent of the damage at each location was not immediately available.
