Explosion Rocks Oil Facility in Novokuybyshevsk, Russia

An explosion occurred at an oil facility in Novokuybyshevsk, Russia on Saturday, according to multiple sources. The Ukraine government reportedly acknowledges launching a series of drone attacks on Russian military infrastructure over the weekend. The governor of Russia's Samara region stated that an enemy drone had struck an industrial area of Novokuybyshevsk, causing the explosion. This is yet another escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two countries.
