Russia launched a major overnight assault on Ukraine, targeting civilian and infrastructure sites with a combination of ballistic missiles and drones, while Ukraine responded with attacks on Russian energy facilities.

Ukrainian authorities reported that two ballistic missiles and 117 drones were fired during the strike, hitting multiple locations across the country. One missile struck a passenger train traveling from Kyiv to Sumy on Sunday. Early reports indicated that up to 200 passengers were on board, but no injuries were reported.

The attacks come amid a wave of Russian strikes focusing on Ukraine’s energy and railway infrastructure, part of Moscow’s ongoing efforts to disrupt transport, logistics, and supply chains during its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have noted repeated damage to railway networks in recent months, causing delays and logistical disruptions across several regions.

Moscow said on Saturday that its recent operations targeted Ukrainian military-industrial enterprises and energy facilities, claiming substantial damage. Ukraine, in turn, reported heavy losses inflicted on Russian personnel and equipment at multiple locations, highlighting continued frontline resistance.

Zelenskyy Honors Fallen Soldiers

On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accompanied by Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, visited the Wall of Remembrance of the Fallen for Ukraine, a memorial dedicated to soldiers who have died since the 2022 invasion.

During the visit, Zelenskyy presented Jetten with a request from Ukrainian troops defending Druzhkivka for additional radar systems to strengthen frontline defenses. “Last week on the Druzhkivka front, our troops made a very concrete request for radar systems. I won’t go into details now, but they are very much needed. This is what helps protect soldiers,” Zelenskyy said, noting the Netherlands’ expertise in radar technology.

The president also discussed financial support for Ukraine with French President Emmanuel Macron in a phone conversation on Saturday.

Ukraine Strikes Russian Energy Sites

In retaliation, Ukrainian drones targeted an oil pipeline dispatch station in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai region late Saturday. Local authorities reported a major fire at the Armavir facility, which functions as a key hub for fuel distribution through pipelines and rail. Videos shared by residents showed multiple storage tanks ablaze, sending thick smoke into the sky.

The independent monitoring group CyberBoroshno said damage to the station could disrupt the wider petroleum logistics network in the area. Krasnodar Krai authorities dispatched approximately 120 firefighters and 38 fire engines to contain the blaze, which affected roughly 700 square meters.

In Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, authorities reported a missile strike on energy facilities overnight, causing blackouts and disrupting electricity, water, and heating services. Footage circulated online showed explosions at substations and bright flashes lighting up the night sky.

The attacks underscore the intensifying cycle of strikes and counter-strikes between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides targeting infrastructure critical to military and civilian operations.

This escalation adds to growing international concern over the humanitarian and economic impact of continued attacks on energy and transport systems in both countries.
