This marks another Ukrainian assault on the aggressor's infrastructure. Just a few days ago, Kyiv forces targeted a marine oil terminal in occupied Feodosia. This terminal is the largest in Crimea for the transshipment of petroleum products, and the fire ignited by the attack is still ongoing.

On Wednesday, Ukrainian forces also struck the Shahed drone base in Russia's Krasnodar region, where approximately 400 drones were assembled.

According to the Ukrainska Pravda portal, which referenced Russian authority reports, Kyiv forces attacked Russia with 47 drones during the night from Friday to Saturday.

Simultaneously, Russia continues its attacks on Ukraine. Over the past day, three civilians lost their lives in these assaults, as reported by local authorities in Ukrainian regions. These casualties were residents of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. Additionally, eight civilians suffered injuries in this area.

In the Kherson region, located in the south of the country, four individuals were injured by Russian shelling. The aggressors targeted a medical facility and an administrative building. The Russian attacks damaged residential areas, including multi-family buildings and approximately 15 private houses. Gas infrastructure, warehouses, and private vehicles also sustained damage.
