Ukraine strikes occupied Mariupol port, Russia’s key oil refineries
Ukrainian drones have struck a historic museum in Russia-annexed Sevastopol in Crimea and the occupied port of Mariupol, as Russian authorities slashed nighttime train schedules amid intensifying air attacks across the peninsula and deep into Russia.
Sevastopol’s Russian-installed governor, Mikhail Razvozhayev, announced the damage on Telegram early on Wednesday.
“The UAV damaged the building of the panorama ‘Defense of Sevastopol 1854-1855’ [painting]; the roof is on fire,” he said. “This building is not just a museum. It is a symbol of resilience, which has repeatedly taken the blows of the enemy.”
The museum commemorates Russia’s 1853-1856 Crimean War struggle against a coalition, including the Ottoman Empire.
Razvozhayev said that during World War II’s Siege of Sevastopol, “the Panorama building was subjected to massed bombing by German aviation”. He declared: “The enemy will pay for this sacrilege!”

The attack on the port of Mariupol caused a blackout at the site, according to Ukraine’s military. Several of the port’s key facilities were struck, including energy and maintenance infrastructure, which has “significantly limited” the city’s capacity as a logistics hub, the military said.
A video posted by Ukraine’s 1st Azov Corps, which also participated in the operation, showed drone footage of ships, power stations and other structures coming under attack.
“Electrical substations, radar equipment, repair infrastructure, the control tower, and fuel and lubricant storage tanks were hit,” it said in a statement, adding that a sanctioned cargo vessel was also damaged.
Authorities in Crimea also cut nighttime train schedules after a drone attack on Monday wounded a locomotive driver and killed his assistant. Crimea governor Sergei Aksyonov confirmed on Telegram that the drone struck passenger train number 68 Moscow-Simferopol, hitting the locomotive.
“The assistant locomotive driver was killed, and the locomotive driver was wounded. Passengers were not injured,” Aksyonov said. Eight passenger trains were stopped, with all passengers evacuated by bus to Simferopol and Sevastopol.
The Black Sea peninsula, annexed by Russia from Ukraine in 2014, faces fuel shortages following recent Ukrainian drone attacks as the holiday season begins.
Local reporting indicates that the unrestricted commercial sale of petrol to civilians has been completely suspended across the peninsula. Fuel is currently being strictly rationed, reserved for emergency response services or accessible only via tightly monitored state-issued vouchers.
Russian Ministry of Defence officials reported overnight that air defence systems destroyed 326 Ukrainian drones over Russia, with more than a dozen heading towards Moscow.
In Novokuibyshevsk in Russia’s Samara oil hub region, hosting Rosneft refineries, regional governors said authorities repelled drone attacks while urging one million residents to seek shelter. Russian OSINT channel Astra confirmed the Kuibyshev oil refinery was burning after at least 29 drones attacked.
In Russia’s Rostov region bordering Ukraine, falling debris from a drone triggered a fire in a fuel tank at a civilian site. In the central Vladimir region, two industrial facilities were ablaze.
Rare air raid alerts were issued in remote oil-producing regions Khanty-Mansiysk, Perm and Tyumen, plus industrial Ural mountain regions Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last week proposed face-to-face talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, which the Russian president rejected. After the train incident, the Kremlin said Ukraine was undermining peaceful resolution efforts.
Latest killings
At least one person was killed in Ukraine’s Kherson city, and 25 others were injured in Russian attacks across Ukraine, including Dnipro, Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhia and Odesa, according to local authorities.
“The enemy attacked the Korabelny district with a drone. A middle-aged man received injuries incompatible with life. Full personal data is currently being clarified,” Yaroslav Shanko, head of the Kherson military administration, wrote on his Telegram channel.
Meanwhile in Russia, one person was killed and two of their family members were injured in a Ukrainian drone strike that struck their vehicle in the Bolgorod region’s Rakityansky district, according to the regional task force.
“A family was injured near the village of Proletarsky when an FPV drone struck a car. The man was taken to the Rakityanskaya Central Regional Hospital in critical condition. Despite all medical efforts, he could not be saved,” the statement read.
According to the emergency response team, the victim’s wife suffered shrapnel wounds to her arm and shoulder, while their 21-year-old son suffered an eye injury.
