"A Ukrainian drone strike sparked a fire at an oil depot in Russia's southern Volgograd region, officials said Saturday, after Russia launched a powerful hypersonic missile along with drones and other weapons that disrupted Kyiv's power supply and heating. There were no immediate reports of casualties, Volgograd Gov. Andrei Bocharov was quoted as saying in a Telegram post published on the channel of the local administration."
"Ukraine's General Staff said Saturday it had struck the Zhutovskaya oil depot overnight. In a statement on Telegram, it said the depot is supplying fuel to Russian forces, adding that damage was being assessed. Ukraine's long-range drone strikes on Russian energy sites aim to deprive Moscow of the oil export revenue it needs to pursue its full-scale invasion."
"Saturday's attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, according to Ukrainian officials, killing at least four people in the capital. For only the second time in the nearly 4-year-old war, it used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv's NATO allies."
Ukrainian forces carried out a long-range drone strike that sparked a fire at the Zhutovskaya oil depot in Russia's Volgograd region, and officials warned nearby residents may need evacuation. Ukraine said the depot supplies fuel to Russian forces and that damage assessments are underway. Russian forces launched a powerful hypersonic missile, the nuclear-capable Oreshnik, and conducted mass drone and missile strikes that killed at least four people in Kyiv and disrupted electricity, heating and water. Ukraine aims to hit energy sites to cut Russian export revenue. The U.N. said the attacks caused significant civilian casualties and deprived millions of essential services.
