"One or more large fires erupted early on Saturday at Russia's Saratov oil refinery as it was hit heavily by Ukrainian drones that attacked the target deep inside Russian territory for at least the second time in a week. Videos vetted and posted by online analysts showed incoming UAVs followed by big explosions and flames rising from the site while air raid sirens blared."
"Ukrainian troops pressed on with a frontline counteroffensive around two eastern cities on Friday with Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying heavy losses were being inflicted on Russian forces. The counteroffensive had disrupted Russian plans in their longstanding objective of seizing the logistics centre of Pokrovsk, said Ukraine's president. Russia said its forces captured two new villages Muravka outside Pokrovsk and Novoivanivka further in the Zaporizhzhia region but its defence ministry made no reference to the Ukrainian drive near the towns of Pokrovsk and Dobropillia."
One or more large fires erupted early Saturday at Russia's Saratov oil refinery after heavy hits by Ukrainian drones, with videos showing incoming UAVs, explosions and flames while air raid sirens blared. The refinery is nearly 600km east of the Ukrainian frontline. The regional governor Roman Busargin confirmed a UAV attack. Ukrainian troops continued a frontline counteroffensive around two eastern cities, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying heavy losses were inflicted on Russian forces and that the operation disrupted Russian plans to seize the logistics centre of Pokrovsk. Russia claimed capture of two villages while Ukraine reported halting attacks near Pokrovsk and holding positions around Kupiansk. Reuters said it could not independently verify both sides' claims, and the outgoing head of MI6 said Vladimir Putin has bitten off more than he can chew.
