On Saturday morning, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported an attack on a fuel and lubricant depot in the Russian-occupied Luhansk region, where a fire broke out.

This is another attack by Ukrainians on the aggressor's infrastructure. A few days ago, Ukrainian forces bombed an oil terminal in the occupied city of Feodosia, the largest terminal in Crimea for handling petroleum products. The fire caused by the attack continues to burn.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Ukrainian forces attacked the Shahed drone base in the Krasnodar region of Russia, where about 400 drones were gathered.

According to the Ukrainian Pravda portal, which cited reports from Russian authorities, Kyiv forces attacked Russia with 47 drones during the night from Friday to Saturday.

Simultaneously, Russia is continuing its attacks on Ukraine. Over the last day, three civilians were killed according to information from local authorities in Ukrainian regions. These were residents of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. In this area, eight civilians were also injured.

In the Kherson region in the south of the country, four people were injured due to Russian shelling. The aggressor struck a medical facility and an administrative building. Russian attacks damaged residential districts, including apartment buildings and around 15 private homes. Additionally, gas infrastructure, warehouses, and private vehicles were damaged.
