Ukraine and Russia launched waves of drone attacks overnight with reports of a fire at an oil refinery in Ukraine's Poltava region and four Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) being shot down over two regions in Russia's west, officials say. A Russian drone hit the Kremenchuk oil refinery in the central Poltava region of Ukraine, causing a fire, the regional governor, Dmytro Lunin, said on Wednesday. "Last night, Russians repeatedly attacked Poltava region. Our air defence system did a good job against enemy UAVs," he said on the Telegram messaging app. The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces said air defence systems shot down 17 of 24 drones that Russia launched against targets in Ukraine.
