The Ukrainian army has reportedly launched renewed attacks on Russian refineries, according to reports from Deutschlandfunk. Multiple casualties have been reported, although exact numbers may change throughout the conflict.

In Ukraine, at least seven people have been killed as a result of Russian attacks. This figure aligns with information published by both Deutschlandfunk and Südtirol News.

In Zaporizhzhia, a city in Ukraine, recent Russian missile and bombing strikes have resulted in at least seven fatalities and 24 injuries. President Volodymyr Zelensky described these attacks as brutal, aiming to cause maximum damage to civilian infrastructure.

The use of a North Korean ballistic missile by the Russian military was also mentioned in the reports, highlighting the nature of the military operations.

Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities and warehouses, such as those of the online retailer Wildberries, have been a recurring theme in the conflict for several weeks. Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to focus on Ukrainian targets, including in the Black Sea.
