At least two people were killed and several others injured as Russia and Ukraine exchanged waves of drone strikes overnight, with attacks reported across parts of both countries.
They also reported damage to an oil pipeline and a fire but did not directly confirm Ukraine’s claim about the refinery.
Mayor Radmir Belyaev said a fire broke out at one of the city’s enterprises, without providing further details. Krasnodar authorities said three people were injured in a strike on an “enterprise” in Slavyansk-on-Kuban. One drone struck near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing with Poland, setting a petrol station on fire, according to Ukraine’s foreign minister and a local customs official.
Nizhnekamsk is home to a major oil refining and petrochemical hub, including several large industrial facilities. It claimed the strikes hit an oil processing unit and a tank farm, triggering a large fire. Russian drones also targeted western Ukraine overnight.
