"Russian oil firm Lukoil's refinery in Volgograd has also halted operations after it was struck by Ukrainian drones, the Reuters news agency reports, citing three sources familiar with the matter. The sources said Lukoil's primary processing unit, CDU-5, with a daily capacity of 9,100 metric tonnes, or 66,700 barrels per day a fifth of the plant's total capability and another with a capacity of 11,000 tonnes per day were damaged during the attack."
"Russia's Ministry of Defence said its forces have advanced in the battered Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk and were fighting house-to-house battles in a bid to eject Ukrainian troops. Russia said it captured 64 buildings in Pokrovsk over the past 24 hours and repelled Ukrainian attacks from Hryshyne to the west. Moscow says taking Pokrovsk would give it a platform to drive north towards the two biggest remaining Ukrainian-controlled cities in the Donetsk region, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk."
Ukraine launched at least 75 drones at Russia, igniting a fire in Volgograd that killed at least one person and halted dozens of flights nationwide. Lukoil's Volgograd refinery halted operations after strikes damaged its CDU-5 primary processing unit (9,100 tonnes daily, about 66,700 barrels) and another unit with 11,000 tonnes daily capacity. Russia's Ministry of Defence reported advances in Pokrovsk, claiming capture of 64 buildings and house-to-house fighting while repelling Ukrainian attacks from Hryshyne. Moscow stated control of Pokrovsk would enable northward advances toward Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. South African nationals in Donbas issued distress calls. Ukraine holds talks with the US on Tomahawk missiles, and Sweden signed a letter of intent to establish a defence innovation hub in Ukraine.
