Russia hits petrol station, warehouse facilities in Kyiv, mayor says
The strike injured one person and hit warehouse facilities as Russia expands attacks on energy-related targets, officials said.
- On Tuesday, a drone struck a petrol station in Kyiv and warehouse facilities elsewhere in the city, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on Telegram. The attack injured one person, though Reuters could not independently verify the reports.
- Moscow has recently expanded its strategy, targeting petrol stations in Kyiv after hitting some 300 such facilities in or near frontline regions in recent months. The shift reflects a broader focus on critical fuel infrastructure.
- These strikes follow U.S. President Donald Trump's claim on Monday that Russia and Ukraine agreed to spare energy sites. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed skepticism, writing, "Ukraine is not certain that Russia is willing to stick to any agreement."
- Lithuania's NATO fighter jet shot down a drone early Tuesday, and Poland's Armed Forces briefly commenced preventive military aviation operations. Both nations acted amid fears the conflict is spilling over NATO borders.
- Simultaneously, a Ukrainian missile attack damaged an Ozon warehouse in Taganrog, Russia, underscoring the conflict's expansion beyond Kyiv. Ongoing reciprocal strikes on civilian infrastructure complicate de-escalation efforts and strain any ceasefire viability.
