A Russian drone has slammed into a block of flats in eastern Kyiv, killing six people and wounding dozens of others, during a wave of strikes throughout the Ukranian capital.
According to BBC News, Ukraines stepped up its attacks on Russia's oil infrastructure, with drone strikes on one of its biggest export terminals in Novorossiysk, on the Black Sea coast.
Officials say a fire broke out at the Sheskharis oil refinery, and a ship and a block of flats were hit.
Krasnodar governor Veniamin Kondratyev said three crew members and another man were hurt in the attack which damaged the main oil depot and a container terminal.
Mayor Andrei Kravchenko declared a state of emergency and Reuters reported that oil exports were suspended.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine had fired long-range "Long Neptune" cruise missiles during its attacks on Russia overnight, without specifying what they targeted.
Condemning Russia's overnight attacks as vile and calculated, Zelensky says about 430 drones and 18 missiles had been launched and dozens of high-rise buildings damaged.
Ukraine's air force warned drones and guided bombs had been targeting several other regions, including Sumy.
The overnight strikes follow the deaths of six people in another Russian offensive less that a week ago that also damaged residential buildings and energy infrastructure.
Russia says its attacks on energy targets - now a familiar part of the war - are aimed at the Ukrainian military, although Kyiv has long rejected that claim.
