Ukraine has said a major Russian oil refinery and an airfield were hit, as Moscow reported eight deaths amid continuing cross-border attacks linked to the war.

Russia’s military said it launched overnight strikes against Ukrainian ports and vessels in the Black Sea. The statement described attacks on maritime targets, but the supplied material does not provide further detail on the exact locations, the scale of damage or whether there were casualties from those strikes.

Ukraine, in turn, said a significant Russian oil refinery and an airfield had been struck. The supplied information does not identify the facilities, specify when the strikes took place, or set out the weapons used.

Moscow has reported eight deaths. The supplied material does not state where the deaths occurred or whether they were connected to the reported Ukrainian strikes, the Russian attacks on Ukraine’s Black Sea infrastructure, or another incident.

The latest claims underline the continuing intensity of the conflict, with both sides reporting attacks on strategically important infrastructure and military-linked targets. Further confirmation of the damage, casualties and locations involved has not been provided in the supplied material.
