Russia said it intercepted nearly 900 Ukrainian drones overnight into Tuesday, as Kyiv continued a campaign against Russian oil infrastructure and Moscow intensified attacks on Ukraine’s transport network and civilian facilities.
Russia’s Defence Ministry said the drones were intercepted over several regions, occupied Crimea and the Sea of Azov. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said hundreds had approached the capital region, while unconfirmed reports said a fuel depot there caught fire. Two people were reported killed. Ukraine did not immediately detail the operation.
Ukrainian Defence Minister Yevhen Khmara said recent long-range strikes had affected 51% of Russia’s oil-refining capacity, citing attacks on refineries and related facilities in several regions. The figure has not been independently verified. Ukraine says the campaign is intended to reduce Russia’s ability to finance and supply its war effort.
Ukraine’s sanctions commissioner, Vladyslav Vlasiuk, separately said Russia imported more than 176,000 tonnes of petroleum products from South Korean ports in July and August, helping ease shortages caused by the strikes. South Korea said it was strictly enforcing export controls against Russia.
Russian attacks have meanwhile increasingly disrupted Ukraine’s railways and ports. Ukrainian officials said the country has nearly exhausted its reserve of locomotives and is seeking compatible rolling stock from European partners. Ukrzaliznytsia said 5,831 trains were evacuated during drone attacks in September. Strikes were also reported Tuesday in Zaporizhzhia and the Odesa region, affecting a bridge, residential and port-related sites.
