Ukrainian Drones Hit Port Infrastructure in Russia's Krasnodar Krai

Regional and Ukrainian outlets describe a pattern of both Russia and Ukraine striking each other's infrastructure, from ports and railways to power grids and cities. They report that Russia has unleashed more than a thousand drones and missiles over two days, while Ukraine has hit a southern Russian port in Krasnodar Krai and other sites inside Russia. Many expect the war to move further into a long‑range contest, with Ukraine seeking more air defences and long‑range weapons to counter Russia's larger stockpiles.

• •Ukrainian sources report that Russia struck Ukraine's railway infrastructure 23 times in one day, disrupting transport and logistics.
• •Officials in Kharkiv Oblast say Russian attacks on critical infrastructure cut power to about 4,500 consumers.
• •Regional media report that Ukrainian drones hit a port in southern Russia's Krasnodar Krai, injuring two people and sparking a fire.
• •Ukrainian and regional outlets say Russia has launched between 800 and 1,500 attack drones over two days in its heaviest such assault of the war.
• •Ukrainian commentators argue that Ukraine can shoot down many Russian drones but still struggles to intercept missiles because of limited air defence stocks.
