Almost 900 miles from Ukraine’s borders, a fire erupted at a Russian oil refinery on Saturday. The blaze – a result of a strike by Ukrainian long-range drones, according to sources in the country’s security services – was the third at the facility in the last month alone.

Russia’s FSB has filed criminal charges against exiled tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, accusing him of creating a “terrorist organisation” and plotting to seize power, linked to his Anti-War Committee opposing the Ukraine war.

The strike reportedly occurred around midnight, marking the second attack on the facility in a week — the previous one took place on Oct. 6, according to the Crimean Wind Telegram channel.

President Donald Trump said his administration is considering approving long-range Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine.

Donald Trump is considering supplying Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles, a decision that could shift the dynamics of the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Russia pounded Kyiv with missiles and drones on April 24, 2025 in the deadliest attack on the Ukrainian capital this year.

A representative of Ukraine's state-owned rail company said the attacks coincide with Russia's "dramatic increase" in drone production.
