Russia said its overnight missile and drone barrage struck the large Kremenchuk oil refinery in central Ukraine, which was previously targeted by Kremlin forces in 2022.

“A group strike with precision-guided air and sea-based weapons, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles” hit the facility in the Poltava region, Russia’s defense ministry said in a Telegram statement.

Acting regional governor Volodymyr Kohut said Russia’s main targets were energy and agriculture facilities in the city, located about 186 miles southeast of Kyiv.

“The night was difficult,” Kohut said on Ukrainian TV. “From 11:30 p.m until 4:00 a.m., a massive attack was happening.”

Nobody was injured and Ukraine’s air defense shot down majority of the missiles and drones, Kohut said, without providing details about the status of the refinery.

Explosions and debris ignited fires, damaging residential buildings and vehicles after “a massive combined attack using missiles and drones,” Ukraine’s foreign ministry said on X.
