Pictures show a large fire in Cheboksary, Russia, about 1,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. Parts for robots and drones are manufactured there, reports The Kyiv Independent.

Later, Ukrainian drones attacked Kirishi, east of St. Petersburg. The SBU intelligence service in Kyiv reports extensive fires at the oil refinery there. According to the SBU, Kirishi is crucial for, among other things, oil exports via the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk.

At the same time, there were reports of at least five civilian deaths in the Poltava area of Ukraine after Russian attacks during the night. In Sweden, Poltava is best known for the great battle between Sweden and Russia in 1709.
