Ukraine intensified drone strikes on Russian oil facilities, setting a major refinery ablaze as President Vladimir Putin admitted Russia faces fuel shortages for the first time. Kyiv said the attacks are aimed at weakening Moscow's war effort, while both sides continued exchanging missile and drone strikes.
Ukrainian drones struck an industrial site in Russia’s Udmurt Republic, reportedly targeting the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant, a major missile factory. Eleven people were injured, three hospitalised. Videos show smoke and structural damage; Ukrainian authorities have not commented.
