Russia hits petrol station, warehouse facilities in Kyiv, mayor says
Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a separate strike also hit warehouse facilities as Russia expands attacks on energy-related targets.
- On Tuesday, a drone struck a petrol station and warehouse in Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported on Telegram. A Reuters witness heard an explosion, though the agency could not independently verify the strikes.
- Russia has targeted roughly 300 petrol stations in recent months, mainly near frontline regions. This escalation marks a tactical shift as strikes now expand to Kyiv's critical urban infrastructure.
- The attack followed President Donald Trump's claim Monday that Russia and Ukraine agreed to avoid energy targets. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine would support a ceasefire only if Washington ensured Moscow was ready to end the war.
- Neighboring Poland commenced military aviation operations on Tuesday as a preventive measure to secure its airspace, the Armed Forces stated. This response reflects heightened security risks for neighboring countries during the strikes.
- Separately, Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev reported a drone attack on an industrial facility in Russia's Samara region on the Volga River. A missile also damaged an Ozon warehouse in Taganrog.
