Russian strikes kill two in Ukraine as Kyiv intensifies cross-border attacks on Russian military and energy infrastructure
Russian drone and missile strikes killed at least two civilians in Ukraine on Saturday, while Ukrainian forces launched a wave of cross-border attacks targeting key Russian military and energy facilities, including a major weapons plant in Volgograd and a critical oil pumping station in the Vladimir region.
Ukrainian air defences intercepted 113 of 129 Russian drones overnight, but strikes were reported in ten locations across the country, according to Ukraine’s air force . In the northeastern city of Sumy, modified jet-powered drones deliberately struck residential areas, injuring 11 people, including two children . In the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian forces launched 924 strikes on 42 settlements over 24 hours, killing one person and injuring 29, including three children .
In a significant escalation, Ukrainian forces struck the Titan-Barrikady weapons factory in Volgograd, a facility producing artillery systems and components for Yars and Topol-M missile launchers, with domestically produced Flamingo cruise missiles. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the attack, stating that a fire broke out on the plant’s premises . The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) also targeted the Vtorovo oil pumping station in Russia’s Vladimir region for the second time this month, disrupting diesel supplies to Moscow .
Ukraine’s military has intensified operations deep inside Russia over the past week, hitting nine strategic targets including oil refineries in Tyumen, Kstovo, and Ufa, a semiconductor plant in Voronezh, and the Dubna space centre . Ukrainian forces also claimed to have critically damaged a bridge in Russia’s occupied rear, though reports of the Henichesk-Arabat Spit bridge were not confirmed by visual evidence .
The surge in cross-border strikes follows Zelensky’s approval of a 40-day offensive campaign aimed at pressuring Moscow into negotiations. On Friday, Zelensky reiterated Ukraine’s willingness to engage in peace talks, stating that a proposal had been transmitted to Russia, though no immediate response was confirmed .
Meanwhile, Russia declared a drone attack threat in the Lipetsk region, though no strikes were confirmed . The escalating attacks have heightened concerns in Moscow, where authorities imposed a state of emergency in Crimea following Ukrainian strikes that caused severe fuel and electricity shortages .
