Summary
Russia said its air defenses intercepted 328 Ukrainian drones overnight, while attacks killed two people in Belgorod and reached Yekaterinburg in the Urals.
Nearly 200 drones were aimed at the Moscow region, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said, underscoring the scale of one of Ukraine’s broadest strikes deep inside Russia.
In Yekaterinburg, drones sparked a parking-lot fire, forced an air raid alert that halted the Russian Athletics Championships, and briefly shut a Wildberries logistics center before operations resumed.
In Tyumen, more than 2,000 kilometers from Ukraine’s border, authorities said drones hit an oil refinery with annual capacity of about 8 million metric tons.
The barrage followed a Ukrainian strike a day earlier on a factory in Kirov that killed five people, showing Kyiv’s expanding reach against Russian industrial and logistics targets.
