The attack, coinciding with Ukraine’s Independence Day, also hit power facilities, while separate drone debris ignited a blaze at the Ust‑Luga fuel port in Leningrad region. Russia claimed to have intercepted 95 Ukrainian drones, while Ukraine reported downing or jamming 48 Russian drones overnight, Fox News has reported. In a speech marking the holiday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowed Ukraine would secure a “just peace” and build lasting security and strength.
