Russia said on Saturday that its forces struck energy facilities and fuel depots in Ukraine, while Ukraine on the same day reported attacks on a Russian fuel depot and multiple military targets.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Russian forces targeted energy facilities supporting Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises, fuel depots, and temporary deployment points for Ukrainian soldiers and foreign mercenaries over the past 24 hours.
The ministry added that its air defense systems intercepted one Neptune missile and shot down 70 Ukrainian drones. Additionally, between 09:00 and 16:00 local time on Saturday, Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed 33 Ukrainian drones over several regions.
On the same day, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that 68 combat engagements had taken place along the front lines as of Saturday afternoon, with the most intense fight occurring in the direction of Pokrovsk (also known as Krasnoarmeysk).
The Ukrainian forces reported repelling multiple Russian attacks. In addition, the General Staff said its troops carried out early-morning strikes on Saturday against a fuel depot in Russia's Volgograd Oblast and several Russian military targets in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions.

The Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) is emerging as a key engine for China's fast-growing low-altitude economy by leveraging its dense industrial networks, efficient logistics systems, and rapid innovation capacity.
From logistics and manufacturing to urban services, the region is building an integrated industrial chain that allows low-altitude industries to scale up at unprecedented speed, thus turning drone-based applications from isolated trials into large-scale, commercial operations.
China's 15th Five-Year Plan, covering 2026 to 2030, calls for the cultivation of new pillar industries and the accelerated development of strategic emerging industrial clusters, including the low-altitude economy.
At a drone operations center in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City in south China's Guangdong Province, a dozen logistics drones take off and land within minutes. Urgently needed production parts, documents, and small parcels are dispatched from here to cities in the province including Dongguan, Zhongshan, and Zhuhai.
Behind these high-flying aircraft lies what observers describe as an "invisible industrial chain", built on speed and efficiency.
"Look at this aircraft. About 90 percent of its components come from nearby areas. Relying on Shenzhen's strong logistics capabilities and its complete supply chain, these parts can be delivered to our factory within half an hour for assembly, processing, and production," said Li Kunhuang, person-in-charge of Shenzhen GODO Innovation Technology Co., Ltd.
Once a new product is unveiled, testing and calibration begin immediately at the drone testing field. As soon as the process is completed, the new models can be put into real-world operation, realizing almost “zero delay” from research and development to application.
Supported by a robust industrial chain, low-altitude routes in Shenzhen are effectively connecting the urban landscape. From its Bao'an District to Songshan Lake in Dongguan City, production components can be delivered within one hour. Supplies are transported between Zhuhai City's Xiangzhou Port to Dong'ao Island in just 25 minutes. And light industrial goods can travel round-trip within a single day between Guzhen Town in Zhongshan City and Xinhui District in Jiangmen City.
More low-altitude application scenarios are expected to be implemented in the near future.
In Qianhai District, Shenzhen is accelerating the construction of a pilot demonstration zone of low-altitude integrated three-dimensional transportation hub.
"We have built the country's first low-altitude integrated three-dimensional transportation hub, and are gradually developing a pilot flight zone that integrates multiple scenarios such as inspection, logistics, and cultural tourism. This will provide technical support for the next step of commercializing cross-border logistics and emergency rescue services across the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area," said Wu Xuemin, head of the Shenzhen Qianhai Low-Altitude Integrated Three-Dimensional Transportation Hub Pilot Demonstration Zone.
