RUSSIAN STRIKES KILL FOUR AS KYIV HITS OIL REFINERY

On Saturday morning, Russian forces launched a series of drone and missile attacks on Kyiv and surrounding areas, killing at least four people—including a child—according to France 24 – International Breaki. In a retaliatory move, Kyiv targeted an oil refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar region as part of its near‑daily long‑range strikes aimed at pressuring Moscow’s fuel supplies.

The attacks were part of a broader wave of strikes that, as reported by POLITICO, killed 12 people and wounded more than 80 overnight. Russia has been exploiting Ukraine’s depleted air‑defence capabilities to mount these missions, while Kyiv has increasingly used drones to hit Russian oil infrastructure, including the refinery hit in Krasnodar. The Moscow Times noted that the Russian drones also killed a 3‑year‑old boy and his grandparents near Kyiv, underscoring the civilian toll of the campaign.

The exchange reflects the escalating use of long‑range attacks in the ongoing Ukraine‑Russia conflict, with each side targeting the other's strategic and civilian infrastructure to gain tactical advantage.
