Russia said Sunday that its troops have struck Ukraine's military infrastructure and shot down 483 Ukrainian drones in the past 24 hours, while Kiev claimed raids on Russian targets.
Russia's operational-tactical aviation, drones, missile and artillery units hit Ukraine's long-range drone storage depots, energy, transport and port infrastructure related to military operations, the Russian defense ministry said in a press release.
Temporary deployment sites of Ukrainian military formations and foreign mercenaries in 150 places were also hit, it said.
Meanwhile, multiple Russian regions, including areas near Moscow, came under Ukrainian drone attacks, inflicting civilian casualties. Emergency response teams are working at the crash site of the drone wreckage, Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said Sunday morning.
On the same day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces have struck several "important" facilities in Russia.
Among the targets was an oil facility in the Yaroslavl region in central Russia, which is important for Russia's oil reserves, Zelensky wrote on X.
He said Ukrainian forces also hit the Azot chemical plant in the Tula region, a key explosives production facility in Russia. Ukraine's Air Force reported in the early hours of Monday that several regions faced the threat of Russian missile and drone strikes.
The head of Kyiv's military administration said that as of 5:40 local time, the strikes had killed four people and injured 23 others in the capital. Russia has not yet commented on the reports. Multiple explosions were heard in Kyiv early Monday morning. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said air defenses were working over Kyiv and the surrounding region.
The four districts of Podilskyi, Obolonskyi, Pecherskyi, and Solomianskyi were hit, with several apartment buildings on fire, Klitschko posted on social media. Rescue teams were dispatched to the scene.
