Ukrainian forces carried out an attack Monday on an oil terminal in the Russia-occupied Crimean Peninsula.

Ukraine’s military said the site it hit in Feodosia was used to supply Russian forces.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said Monday it shot down 12 Ukrainian drones over Crimea, as well others over Russia’s Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk and Voronezh regions.

Ukraine regularly has hit Russian military sites in Crimea since Russian forces launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. The strikes have hampered Russia’s Black Sea fleet.

Officials in Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, reported a Russian aerial attack on the city Monday. Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that rocket fragments landed in several of Kyiv’s districts, but that there were no reports of casualties.

The governor of Ukraine’s Cherkasy region said air defenses shot down three Russian drones, while the governor of Mykolaiv said another drone was shot down in that region.

Officials in Sumy said Ukraine’s military destroyed eight Russian drones.
