Russia-Ukraine Exchange Of Strikes: From Airfields And Energy To Ports And Oil Depots

On the night of May 30, Russia and Ukraine continued their daily exchange of strikes using unmanned aircraft. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, 290 unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Russian territory were recorded over Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defence, for its part, reported the destruction of 127 Ukrainian UAVs over 13 subjects of the Russian Federation. The primary targets of the Russian side were energy, fuel, and transport infrastructure facilities, as well as military airfields; Ukrainian forces concentrated on striking port and oil transshipment infrastructure in Russia's border and rear regions.

The most concentrated attack of the night fell on Sumy Region. In the city of Shostka, the workshops of the Impulse plant were hit by Geran-2 drones. The Shostka railway station was completely destroyed.

In Chernihiv Region, the cities of Pryluky and Snovsk were under Geran attacks throughout the night. According to a statement by Naftogaz of Ukraine, strikes on oil and gas infrastructure are occurring almost around the clock: facilities in Kharkiv, Sumy, Poltava, and Dnipropetrovsk regions have been hit.
