Russia claimed on Saturday that it had attacked Ukrainian drone production workshops and long-range drone control points while Ukraine said its forces had struck oil facilities inside Russia.

The Russian Defense Ministry said in its daily report Saturday that Russian troops captured another settlement in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.

Russia had launched assaults in the directions of Sumy, Kharkiv and Donetsk over the past 24 hours, the ministry added.

In addition, Russia's air defense system shot down one guided aerial bomb and 338 fixed-wing Ukrainian drones, it said in a statement.

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported Saturday that its forces had struck multiple targets inside Russia, including an oil refinery and an oil storage facility.

On the same day, the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) said its drones had hit a drone storage and launch base in southwestern Russia's Krasnodar Krai and an electronics plant in the western city of Penza.

On Saturday afternoon, air raid sirens sounded across Ukraine, including the capital Kiev.
