\n <\/p>\n\n Ukraine says an arms factory and an oil refinery deep inside Russia are among the targets it has hit in a fresh wave of attacks.\n <\/p>\n
But Russian drone attacks on Ukraine had left one person dead and more than a dozen people injured, officials said.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed Ukraine had hit the military plant on Tuesday night in the western Russian city of Cheboksary – in the region of Chuvashiya – with Ukrainian-made Flamingo cruise missiles.<\/p>\n
He said the factory, more than 550 miles behind the front line, supplied components for Russian drones and missiles.<\/p>\n
Forces had also targeted an oil refinery in Samara, in the southwestern part of Russia, he said.<\/p>\n
Samara governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said that several industrial plants were damaged by drone strikes and three people were injured.<\/p>\n
Oleg Nikolayev, the head of Chuvashiya, confirmed the missile attack in Chuvashiya without giving any further details.<\/p>\n
The Astra online news outlet said the Ukrainian strike had hit the military complex, which it reported produces antennas for drones.<\/p>\n
Russia’s defence ministry said its forces had managed to intercept 326 Ukrainian drones overnight.<\/p>\n
Ukraine’s military said on Wednesday it had also struck the West Horizon tanker in the Black Sea, which it described as being a part of the Russian “shadow fleet”.<\/p>\n
It comes after Ukraine had revealed a drone attack had targeted the \u200cRussian-occupied port of Mariupol, leaving the site with limited capacity.<\/p>\n
Kyiv’s \u200cdrone forces said the port \u200cwas without power after strikes on its energy, \u2060repair and \u200bmanagement infrastructure.<\/p>\n
In a statement, Ukraine added the \u200battack had “significantly limited” Mariupol’s \u2060use as \u2060a military logistics \u200bhub by the Russians.<\/p>\n
Mariupol is a strategically important port city on the Sea of Azov, in the southeast of Ukraine, and was secured by Russian forces in 2022.<\/p>\n
“The port was used \u200cby the enemy for military logistics, as well as the illegal export of \u200cUkrainian grain, coal and metal to Russia,” it said.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian drones also hit a historic museum in Sevastopol in Crimea, according to officials.<\/p>\n
The museum commemorates the 1853-1856 Crimean War between the Russian Empire and a coalition \u200bthat included the Ottoman Empire.<\/p>\n
Sevastopol’s Russian-installed \u200cgovernor, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said the museum’s roof had caught fire and called the attack “sacrilege”. He said a huge panorama painting depicting the defence of the city during the Crimean War by artist Franz Rubo was effectively destroyed.<\/p>\n
The strikes are part of a mounting Ukrainian campaign to target \u2060Russian military logistics far \u200bbehind the front line, which \u200banalysts say is hampering Moscow’s battlefield advances.<\/p>\n
Russia is also starting to face frequent Ukrainian attacks on its oil infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\u200bUkrainian drone attacks have constricted supplies from Russia, while international sanctions have \u200cmade crude exports more costly.<\/p>\n
Residents in Russian-controlled Crimea were dealing with fuel rationing on Wednesday, the Reuters news agency reported.<\/p>\n
