"During the night, the air defense systems detected and destroyed 90 Ukrainian drones" without causing any fatalities, says Russia's Defense Ministry on the Telegram platform.

The drones were caught in eight regions – 38 over the Sea of Azov, 24 in the southwestern region of Krasnodar and 15 over the Crimean Peninsula, according to the ministry.

Ukrainian drones hit a major oil pipeline in southern Russia, affecting deliveries from Kazakhstan.

The night's attack hit the Kropotkinskaya pumping station and oil from Kazakhstan flowed at a "reduced" speed, writes the Caspian Pipeline Consortium in a statement on Telegram.

Large-scale power outages have also been introduced in several Ukrainian regions after Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy sector, reports state-owned Ukrenergo, which is responsible for the country's grid. Among other things, there are extensive power outages in the capital Kyiv, reports Ukraine's largest private power company DTEK.
