Russia,
Ukraine Launch Overnight Drone Attacks.
Ukraine launched a drone attack on a Russian metal plant
in a border region on Wednesday, causing a fire at a fuel tank.
Kyiv meanwhile announced it had intercepted dozens of
Russian drones as both sides launched a wave of overnight aerial attacks in an
attempt to hit targets deep behind the front lines.
Kursk governor Roman Starovoyt said in a video message
posted on his Telegram on Wednesday that later a second drone had hit the depot
at the Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plant in the city of Zheleznogorsk,
some 90 kilometres from the border with Ukraine.
Videos posted on Russian social media showed thick grey
smoke billowing as a fire raged inside a cylindrical fuel storage tank.
There was no immediate comment from Kyiv.
Ukrainian forces have launched a wave of drone attacks at
Russian energy facilities in recent months, trying to target the country’s
vital energy and gas sector that it says Russia uses to fuel its invasion.
