Ukraine has fired hundreds of drones at Russia, killing at least five people, including a child, according to Russian officials.
Early Monday’s attack also set buildings ablaze, among them an apartment block and warehouses, officials said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his forces had struck an export terminal in the western Rostov region, as well as oil facilities in the Yaroslavl and Udmurtia regions far from the front line.
“Last night, our long-range sanctions were effective in the Rostov region. An export terminal approximately 250 kilometres (155 miles) from the front line was hit,” Zelenskyy said in a post on Facebook.
“Deep strikes also targeted oil facilities in the Yaroslavl region and the Udmurt Republic, which is 1,300 kilometres from Ukraine’s state border,” he added.
The five reported killed were all in Russia’s Rostov region bordering Ukraine.
