Ukraine launches a wave of armed drones towards at least 15 Russian regions, including the capital, with some hitting power stations and refineries.
Moscow says it shot down more than 150 armed drones launched by Ukraine over the border region and deeper into Russia .
A further 34 were shot over the Bryansk region, 28 over the Voronezh region, and 14 over the Belgorod region — all of which border Ukraine. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said falling debris from one of the two drones shot down over the city caused a fire at an oil refinery.Ukrainian drone strikes have brought the fight far from the front line into the heart of Russia. Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has stepped up aerial assaults on Russian soil, targeting refineries and oil terminals to slow down the Kremlin's assault.
Ukraine, with a rapidly expanding domestic drone industry, has stepped up its attacks on Russian energy, military and transport infrastructure. At least three people were killed and nine wounded in Russian shelling in the town of Kurakhove, some 33 kilometres south of Pokrovsk.
