On the morning of Tuesday, August 18, Russian troops launched a missile strike on Pechenigi in the Kharkiv region. About 10 people were killed and others were wounded as a result of the enemy attack. It is also reported that civilian infrastructure sustained damage.

At airports in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg, an unofficial screening process has been implemented for travelers leaving Russia. Men of draft age are deliberately subjected to additional screenings to prevent them from catching their flights, even if their documents are in order and there are no official restrictions.

On the night of August 8, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a large-scale attack on the Syzran Oil Refinery, which is part of Rosneft’s oil complex. Drones struck not just a single target, but the facility’s entire production chain-from basic oil refining to secondary refining units and the production of high-octane fuel components.

Last night, Russian troops attacked a high-rise building in Smila, in the Cherkasy region. The occupiers used a drone loaded with shrapnel to carry out the attack.

During the attack on the Orsk Oil Refinery, Ukrainian drones struck key infrastructure that cannot yet be repaired. The refinery has been completely shut down. The city is facing a critical gasoline shortage, and authorities are preparing for the “worst-case scenario.”

On Thursday, August 13, an explosion occurred in occupied Sevastopol as two men were walking past a trash can. The explosives had been planted inside it. It is likely that the attempt was to kill Robert Shageev, the commander of the submarine “Zaporizhzhia.”

In the Odesa region, an enemy Shahed drone struck a passenger train directly. Two railway workers-the engineer and his assistant-were killed in the Russian attack.

Last night, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a massive strike against the naval base in Novorossiysk, which remains the Russian Navy’s last major outpost in the Black Sea and is located more than 300 kilometers from the front line.

On Tuesday, August 11, at around 11:30 a.m., Russian occupiers launched a Molniya-2 drone strike on the central market in Sloviansk. At least four civilians-three women and one man-were wounded as a result of the enemy shelling.
