Reuters reporting that according to a security source in Kyiv, "Ukraine conducted a drone attack on Russia's Marinovka military airfield in the southern Russian region of Volgograd, striking a storage site for fuel and glide bombs". Marinovka lies 275km east of the internationally-recognised Russo-Ukrainian border.

  • Earlier, the governor of the Volgograd oblast said that a fire had broken out at a military facility in the region after a Ukrainian drone crashed. The strike comes a day after the largest attackby Ukrainian drones on the Russian capital, Moscow, to date. Reports claim that an oil refinery in Novoshakhtinsk, Rostov, suffered damage as part of the attack.
  • While the strikes on such facilities provide a morale boost for Ukraine, as Foreign Policy notes, "latest estimates are that about 17 percent of Russia’s (admittedly ample) oil-refining capacity has been damaged to some extent by the strikes. But more broadly, Russia continues to export huge volumes of oil and even a fair bit of natural gas, ensuring that oil revenues continue to fuel its war machine despite the odd million spent here and there to repair damaged crackers and condensers."
  • The launching of mass drone attacks is taking place simultaneously alongside the advance of Ukrainian forces into Russia's Kursk oblast. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has visited the border region of Sumy, claiming that Ukraine's forces have claimed another settlement in Kursk and more Russian PoWs have been taken.
