Russia launched one of its largest drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy network overnight, hitting fuel and port infrastructure in the Odesa region and setting off a major blaze at Izmail on the Danube River, a key route for Ukrainian fuel imports. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a gas distribution station was struck, while maritime-security reports indicated that the Triton oil depot and the Panama-flagged products tanker Excellion were damaged during the strikes. Ukraine’s Air Force said it downed 62 of the 93 Shahed-type drones fired, but acknowledged that several reached their targets. The Russian Defence Ministry confirmed targeting “port infrastructure used to supply fuel to Ukrainian forces.” Separately, local officials reported 12 injuries, including two children, in an attack on Okhtyrka in the northern Sumy region. Moscow, for its part, said it intercepted and destroyed 42 Ukrainian drones over its own territory the same night. The cross-border action follows last week’s Ukrainian drone strike that forced Russia’s Syzran oil refinery to halt production, underscoring how both sides are now using long-range unmanned aircraft to disrupt each other’s fuel supplies. The escalation increases risks for shipping on the Danube and adds pressure to already strained energy networks as both countries brace for winter. Neither side reported disruptions to regional gas or fuel deliveries, but Kyiv and Moscow each warned that attacks on critical infrastructure would continue.
