118 places in ten regions were attacked, Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said in online media on Wednesday. “This is the largest number of towns and villages attacked since the beginning of the year.” The government in Kiev also reported a Russian attack on an oil refinery in the central industrial city of Kremenchuk. There were no casualties, but around 100 firefighters fought the fire for several hours.

Local officials said one person was killed in the overnight shelling in the northeastern Kharkiv region. Another person was killed in the southern Kherson region. A woman was also killed and four people were injured in the southern city of Nikopol, the local governor said.

The Ukrainian Air Force said on Wednesday that it had shot down 18 of 20 Russian drones launched during the night.

The Russian Defense Ministry said it shot down two Ukrainian drones over the Bryansk and Kursk regions. Both regions border Ukraine.
