Russian drones kill two people near Ukraine's Kharkiv overnight, governor says

Emergency crews battled fires and evacuated residents after the strikes, with officials reporting damage to homes, industrial buildings and nearby infrastructure.

  • On Friday, October 30, Ukrainian drones struck three Russian oil refineries and a gas-chemical complex, including the Rosneft-owned Novokuybyshevsk facility, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said, ending a two-week lull in refinery attacks.
  • President Donald Trump announced an 'energy ceasefire' on October 11, prompting the informal pause in refinery strikes, though President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he knew nothing about the deal, citing continued Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
  • The Novokuybyshevsk refinery processes nearly 8.8 million metric tonnes of crude annually and produces aviation fuel for Russian forces, making it a high-value target in Ukraine's campaign against Moscow's war financing.
  • Novak warned that resumed strikes could reduce diesel supplies to global markets, prompting Russia to extend its export ban on diesel through January 2027 to protect domestic fuel availability.
  • Ukrainian forces struck the Kamensky chemical plant in Rostov on Saturday, October 31, damaging four production workshops and igniting a warehouse storing solid rocket propellant, the General Staff announced.
