Arctic gas plants hit as Kyiv claims deep-range drone strike amid Russian onslaught

Russian strikes killed at least 11 people across Ukraine (Mykolaiv, Sumy, Dnipro, Odesa and Donetsk) with dozens wounded, even as Kyiv said its forces carried out a deep-range drone attack that hit two Russian gas plants in the Arctic. Separate Russian strikes damaged civilian infrastructure, including a shopping centre in Sumy and facilities in Donetsk, while two Azerbaijani crewmembers were killed near Odesa; Ukraine’s claim of the Arctic attack marked a notable escalation.
