A Russian airstrike early this morning damaged port infrastructure in the city of Izmail in Ukraine's Odessa region, Ukrainian authorities said, while the Russians said they shot down four drones that Ukraine had launched towards Moscow.
Izmail is located in the southern part of Ukraine's Odessa region and is home to Ukraine's largest port on the Danube, which is a frequently targeted strategic location.
"The port infrastructure in the city of Izmail has been damaged," local officials said via Telegram, adding that almost all weapons in the airstrike were destroyed, and that there were no casualties or significant damage, Reuters reports.
Elsewhere in Ukraine, two people have been rescued and one remains trapped under rubble after a Russian drone attack on the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said via Telegram.
Russian drones attacked the regions of Dnipopetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Zaporozhye, local authorities announced.
Meanwhile, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin wrote on Telegram that four drones heading towards the capital had been shot down and emergency services had been deployed. He gave no further details.
The attack follows a major Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow over the weekend, after which Russia targeted the Ukrainian cities of Odessa and Dnipro with missiles and drones, damaging residential buildings and injuring dozens of people.
In Russia's Kursk region, which borders Ukraine, one woman died and two people were injured as a result of a Ukrainian attack on Monday evening, the Kursk operations center said via Telegram.
Russia's southern Rostov and Yaroslavl regions northeast of Moscow have also been hit by drone attacks, as have several other areas in central Russia, regional authorities said via Telegram.
In Yaroslavl, where Russia has oil infrastructure, an "industrial facility" was damaged after a drone attack and emergency services are working to put out the fire, said Governor Mikhail Yevrayev.
Ukraine is trying to deprive Russia of energy revenues. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on the X network last night that Russia's oil refining capacity has fallen by 10 percent in the past few months and that oil wells have been closed.
"(Russian President Vladimir) Putin has of course built up war reserves, but certainly not enough to fight indefinitely," Zelensky wrote.
