The region itself is rich in energy resources and has many major oil refineries that Kyiv has been targeting in retaliatory strikes. This was one of Kyiv's most deadly single attacks of the more than four year war. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed that its air defenses intercepted 456 Ukrainian drones overnight across 16 Russian regions, Moscow, the occupied Crimean Peninsula, and the Krasnodar Krai, according to their statement.
Near the front line in Ukraine, a Russian artillery strike killed five people in a village in the northeastern Kharkiv region, local Ukrainian officials said. "On August 10, Russian forces carried out a massive artillery strike on the residential area of the village of Bugaivka in the Chuguiv district. Various houses were destroyed as a result of the enemy attack. Five people were killed," the regional prosecutor's office said in a statement on Telegram.Ukraine's air force said Russia fired 126 drones in its overnight attack.
Ukraine has targeted Russian oil facilities with long-range drones almost daily in recent months. The barrage has caused fuel shortages in Russia, eaten into Russian refining capacity, and unsettled the Russian public.President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says it is a campaign to force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table and stop his more than 4-year-old invasion. "We do deliver entirely justified responses, and every Russian strike will be met with our response. Russia’s war will be felt more and more at their own home — in Russia," Zelenskyy said late Sunday on social media.
