Three killed in Ukraine’s strikes on industrial targets in Russia and Crimea
Ukrainian forces carried out large-scale strikes on interior Russia and annexed Crimea, killing at least three people. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that the military targeted a series of industrial facilities, including oil refineries and logistics centers.
Ukrainian forces carried out large-scale attacks on central regions of Russia such as Ryazan and Perm, annexed Crimea, and port cities on the coast of the Sea of Azov. Russian officials said three people were killed and six wounded in the strikes.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced on social media that his forces targeted an oil refinery and logistics center in the Ryazan region. Zelenskiy claimed that the same wave of attacks hit an oil refinery in Perm, and an export terminal and defense enterprise in the Rostov region.
Ryazan regional officials confirmed that fires broke out at a number of industrial facilities in the regional capital Ryazan city. Six people required medical attention, and online retailer Wildberries announced it evacuated its warehouse in the area. At least seven of the company's logistics centers have been damaged in recent days.
In the city of Taganrog in the Rostov region, debris from a missile fell on an apartment building. In the city, which is home to a major grain export terminal and industrial facilities, a woman was killed and a man wounded.
In Crimea, pro-Kremlin officials reported two people killed in the Ukrainian attack. Zelenskiy suggested that a facility housing speedboats of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was targeted.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine's Kherson region, a Russian drone attack killed one person and wounded three. Russia's Defense Ministry also announced that its drones struck two ships east of the port of Odesa, which it claimed were carrying military equipment. Attacks by both sides on maritime shipping in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov have led to a decline in oil and grain shipments from the region.
