Ukrainian forces struck the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Russia's Samara region, some 620 miles from the front line, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday, as a new wave of cross-border attacks killed at least 13 people on both sides. A drone also set ablaze an Ozon logistics centre and industrial site, according to Russian outlet Astra.
Russian strikes killed at least nine people across Ukraine on Saturday, including three in Zaporizhzhia and two in Borispil near Kyiv, where ballistic missiles hit railway infrastructure while Zelensky was attending a veterans event with German Foreign Minister Johan Wadephul. Three more died in Lviv after a strike on an Iskra factory.
Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia's Krasnodar region and Crimea killed at least four, including two children. The violence followed a deadly strike on a Kryvyi Rih shopping centre that left 16 dead and four still missing. President Vladimir Putin said such strikes cause economic damage but no turning point in the conflict.
