A Ukrainian drone attack on the Sheskharis oil terminal in Novorossiysk, located in Russia's Krasnodar region, resulted in a large fire and injuries to two individuals. Local officials confirmed the incident, which is part of Ukraine's broader strategy to target Russian oil infrastructure, vital for funding the ongoing conflict. Images reportedly showed smoke rising from the terminal, although they remain unverified. This attack underscores Ukraine's enhanced drone capabilities, developed domestically for its defense against Russia's invasion. Concurrently, the death toll from a Ukrainian drone strike on a college dormitory in Starobilsk, located in the Russia-occupied Luhansk region, has increased to 11, prompting condemnation from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who labeled the strike a 'crime.' He has ordered military proposals for retaliation, asserting that no military facilities were near the college. At an emergency UN Security Council meeting, Ukraine's ambassador dismissed accusations of war crimes as propaganda, emphasizing that their operations target the Russian military. Putin's remarks suggest he believes the conflict is nearing an end, but the recent attacks indicate ongoing hostilities.
