killing of a top Russian general<\/a> by a car bomb in Moscow on Monday, with investigators suspecting Ukraine was behind it, could be another instance of Kyiv picking surprise targets.<\/p>\nUkrainian forces struck the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal, an ammunition depot and a launch site for attack drones inside Russian territory and Russian-held Ukrainian territory, Ukraine\u2019s General Staff said in a statement Monday.<\/p>\n
A pipeline, two docks and two ships were damaged in the southern Krasnodar region, and a large blaze broke out, the statement said, without specifying what kind of weapons were used in the attack.<\/p>\n
It added that a Ukrainian-made missile also hit a temporary base for Russia’s 92nd River Boat Brigade in Olenivka, in the occupied Crimean Peninsula.<\/p>\n
A separate strike targeted an ammunition depot in a Russian-controlled portion of the Donetsk region, aiming to slow the Russian advance there, the General Staff said. A Russian launch site for attack drones was also hit.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian partisans set fire to two Russian jet fighters in an operation on Sunday evening at a base near Lipetsk, a city in western Russia, according to Ukraine\u2019s military intelligence.<\/p>\n
Russia\u2019s Ministry of Defense said only that its forces shot down 41 Ukrainian drones overnight, three of them over the Krasnodar region.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Russian forces kept up their targeting of Ukraine\u2019s energy sector, aiming to deprive civilians of heat and running water during the frigid winter. Russia has tried to knock out power in Ukraine throughout the war, in a tactic that Ukraine refers to as \u201cweaponizing winter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Energy infrastructure across five regions were attacked during the night, Ukraine\u2019s Ministry of Energy said.<\/p>\n
Russia struck Ukraine with 86 drones of different types overnight, Ukraine\u2019s air force said. Ukrainian forces stopped 58 of them, it said.<\/p>\n
