Meanwhile, local officials in Russia’s Krasnodar region said a Ukrainian drone attack killed one person and injured three, with debris sparking a fire at a sea terminal. Ukraine’s General Staff said its forces struck an oil preparation and pumping station in Russia’s Volgograd region, as well as Russian-occupied areas in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia.
Separately, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukrainian forces had struck infrastructure deep inside Russia, including a military factory supplying components for drones and missiles.
The International Atomic Energy Agency said the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant had been reconnected to the grid after repairs carried out under a localised ceasefire. The plant had been without off-site power for almost three days following damage to an electrical substation across the Dnipro River, forcing reliance on emergency diesel generators.
