Russia Says It Downed 148 Ukrainian Drones as Energy Strikes Intensify

The attacks also hit energy and port infrastructure, with officials reporting fires, fuel leaks and nearly half a million households without power.

  • On April 4, Ukrainian forces struck the Alchevsk Metallurgical Plant in occupied Luhansk, halting operations, the Security Service of Ukraine reported.
  • This strike coincides with a broader offensive against Russian energy infrastructure, including Sunday attacks on the Baltic port of Primorsk and the NORSI oil refinery in Nizhny Novgorod.
  • Fragments damaged a fuel reservoir in Primorsk, while fires broke out at two NORSI refinery facilities, damaging a power plant and nearby residential buildings in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
  • Separately, a cargo ship sank in the Sea of Azov after an alleged drone attack, leaving one crew member dead and two missing, according to Russian-installed official Vladimir Saldo.
  • Russian air defense units intercepted 148 drones across central and southern regions on Monday, underscoring the scale of Ukraine's ongoing aerial offensive against Russia's military-industrial supply chain.
