Russian air strikes kill five at Naftogaz gas facilities in Ukraine

At least five people were killed, including three Naftogaz employees and two rescue workers, in Russian air strikes targeting gas facilities in Ukraine’s Poltava and Kharkiv regions. The attacks, which occurred after both nations announced ceasefires, left 37 others wounded and disrupted gas supply to nearly 3,500 customers. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strikes as cynical, while Ukraine launched a counterattack on a major oil refinery in Russia’s Leningrad region, causing a fire with no reported casualties.
