Summary
Two civilians were killed in Russia’s Belgorod region on Wednesday after Ukrainian drone strikes hit overnight and again in the afternoon, with authorities reporting 14 wounded in the earlier attacks.
One later strike hit a vehicle about 10 kilometers from Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, injuring three more people—one critically—and setting several vehicles ablaze while damaging private and commercial buildings.
Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine also struck an oil refinery in Ufa, more than 1,300 kilometers from the frontline, and a defense-linked plant in Penza tied to Russia’s Roscosmos space corporation.
Kyiv cast the attacks as retaliation for Russia’s full-scale invasion and occupation, underscoring the continuing cross-border drone and missile campaign by both sides.
