Russia and Ukraine reported fresh attacks across multiple fronts over the weekend, with both sides claiming military gains and targeting key infrastructure as the war showed no signs of easing.
Russia's Defence Ministry said it carried out overnight strikes into Saturday using long-range precision weapons against military-industrial enterprises in Kyiv involved in producing and storing medium- and long-range drones.
The ministry also said Russian forces targeted infrastructure at several ports in Ukraine's Odesa region and claimed control of another settlement in the northeastern Sumy region.
It added that Russian air defences had intercepted 41 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's State Emergency Service said a Russian air strike on the city of Sumy killed five people, including a child.
Ukraine's General Staff reported 261 combat engagements over the past 24 hours, adding that its forces repelled dozens of Russian assaults in the Pokrovsk, Oleksandrivsk and Lyman sectors.
Ukraine said its air force struck two areas where Russian troops were concentrated, while its drone forces continued attacks on Russian logistics in the Sea of Azov.
According to Ukraine's drone forces commander, Kyiv struck 13 Russian vessels on Friday, including 10 tankers, as part of efforts to disrupt fuel supplies supporting Russian military operations.
A dry cargo vessel and a ferry were also reportedly hit.
Satellite imagery captured on Saturday showed smoke rising from a vessel in the central Sea of Azov, although its identity could not be independently verified.
Following the reported Ukrainian strikes, Russia temporarily suspended shipping through the Don-Azov Channel.
The channel is a key waterway connecting the Don River with the Sea of Azov, according to three grain export industry sources.
