MOSCOW: Ukraine fired hundreds of drones at Russia early Monday, killing two people and setting multiple buildings ablaze, according to Russian officials.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his forces had struck an export terminal in the western Rostov region, as well as oil facilities in the Yaroslavl and Udmurtia regions far from the front line.
“Last night, our long-range sanctions were effective in the Rostov region. An export terminal approximately 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the front line was hit,” Zelensky said in a post on Facebook.
“Deep strikes also targeted oil facilities in the Yaroslavl region and the Udmurt Republic, which is 1,300 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border,” he added.
The governors of the Rostov, Yaroslavl and Udmurtia regions reported nighttime drone attacks but did not mention damage to oil facilities.
