Orenburg region, more than 1,500km from Ukraine’s border, was hit by Ukrainian strikes on gas facilities that Zelenskyy said answered Russia’s overnight attacks.
Six people were killed in Dnipropetrovsk after Moscow resumed assaults following the end of a three-day Victory Day ceasefire; Zelenskyy said Russia also launched more than 200 drones across six regions.
Nine Ukrainian drones were repelled over Orenburg, regional governor Evgeny Solntsev said, with falling debris damaging a residential building, a school and a kindergarten but causing no injuries.
Peace diplomacy remains stalled despite Kremlin and Trump claims the war may be nearing an end, while Kyiv says Moscow rejected extending the truce and is seeking any new ceasefire only with security guarantees.
