Russia’s Defense Ministry announced on Sunday that they will increase the frequency of attacks on targets in Kyiv and various other regions in Ukraine in response to recent statements made by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The ministry stated that Russian forces will escalate strikes on military installations, defense industry compounds, and associated infrastructure in Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy revealed in an interview with Reuters that Ukraine plans to heighten its offensive on Russian oil refineries as a countermeasure to Moscow’s new airstrike strategy aimed at compelling residents to evacuate Kyiv and other urban centers. However, Zelenskyy emphasized that civilians will not be targeted in these operations.
Simultaneously, a fire erupted at an industrial site in Russia’s Krasnodar region due to debris from a drone strike hitting the site in the Temryuk district, according to regional authorities on Sunday. Three individuals sustained injuries and were undergoing medical treatment, while emergency response teams were actively engaged at the incident site.
