Russian strikes kill 10 as Zelensky says Ukraine hits oil tankers and terminal

Russian drone and missile strikes in Ukraine have killed 10 people and injured at least 76 over the past day, reports say.

Officials in five regions around the country reported fatalities as Moscow continues to target Ukrainian cities with regular aerial attacks.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said an oil terminal in northwest Russia had been significantly damaged, while two Russian oil tankers were struck near the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk.

There are no details on damage to the ships, but Zelensky said the vessels were part of Russia's "shadow fleet" used to evade Western sanctions.

Ukraine's military said a ballistic missile and nearly 270 drones were fired by Russia, but most were intercepted.

Three people were killed in separate incidents in Kherson region, the governor said, while two died in each of Odesa, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions and one in Sumy region.

At the same time, Russia said Ukraine had fired at least 334 drones, with the northwestern Leningrad region heavily targeted.

Export terminals there and in other regions have been targeted by Ukraine in recent weeks in a series of successful strikes launched by Ukraine on Russian oil infrastructure, which Kyiv says has knocked out billions of dollars worth of exports.

And on Sunday, Zelensky said infrastructure of the Leningrad region's Primorsk terminal, near Finland, had been significantly damaged, as well as three ships there.

He also said two tankers were struck by Ukrainian drones at the entrance to the port of Novorossiysk.

"These tankers were actively used for transporting oil. Now they will not be," he wrote on Telegram.

The post was accompanied by black-and-white video footage apparently showing a naval drone approaching one of the tankers.

Russian authorities have mostly downplayed the impact of such attacks, but the Kremlin is clearly concerned about the deep reach of Ukrainian drones into its territory.
