‘Massive’ drone attack
Separately, Zelenskyy accused Russia of launching 1,920 attack drones, 1,790 guided aerial bombs, and 17 missiles of various types against Ukraine in the past week.
Meanwhile, Russian authorities said industrial fuel storage facilities were hit in a “massive” Ukrainian drone attack on the Yaroslavl region.
The regional governor, Mikhail Evraev, said on the Russian social media platform Max that traffic toward Moscow had been halted and emergency crews are working to extinguish a fire.
Tula Governor Dmitry Milyaev said on Telegram that debris from downed Ukrainian drones fell on the grounds of an industrial enterprise in the city of Novomoskovsk during efforts to repel the attack.
“Emergency services have been organised to respond, and the nature of the damage is being determined,” Milyaev wrote.
Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure have intensified in recent months. In early June, Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian forces struck 15 Russian oil refineries between January and May, and claimed that nearly 40 percent of Russia’s primary oil refining capacity was offline as of May.
