Ukrainian drones attacked oil facilities and Russian anti-aircraft batteries in the Sochi region of Russia. The attack is part of a series of military operations by Ukraine against targets on Russian territory.

The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that 490 Ukrainian drones were shot down over 19 regions of Russia, the annexed Crimean peninsula and the Black Sea. The high number of intercepted drones indicates the significant scale of the attack.

The targets hit included energy infrastructure and Russian air defense systems, demonstrating the continuation of Ukraine's efforts to strike Russia's military and economic capabilities.

The conflict between the two countries continues with regular drone attacks from both sides, with Russia regularly reporting the interception of Ukrainian aerial devices over its territory and annexed regions.
