Recent developments in the Ukraine conflict include reports of Russian shelling in Dnipro, resulting in four fatalities and power disruptions across several oblasts, including Sumy, Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia. An overnight Russian air attack on Kyiv also caused at least two injuries. Concurrently, Ukrainian forces claimed responsibility for striking two oil refineries and a pumping station near Moscow, marking the second such attack on the pumping station this month.
