The strike comes days after a massive Russian drone and missile attack hit gas facilities in eastern Ukraine."

Nineteen drones struck seven locations, damaging apartment blocks in the eastern town of Shakhtarske, which lies east of Dnipro in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Ten people were injured. Meanwhile, the Russian Defence Ministry says it has intercepted 45 Ukrainian drones, mostly over the Samara and Saratov regions in southern Russia. In the Urals, a drone hit a gas plant in Orenburg, sparking a fire, Orenburg Governor Yevgeny Solntsev said. No injuries were reported."
