aljazeera.com —

At least four people were killed as Russia and Ukraine exchanged overnight strikes, with a Ukrainian drone attack setting fire to Russia's second-largest oil refinery and Russian strikes targeting Ukrainian energy sites. A Russian attack on Odesa killed three people, while one woman died from falling drone debris in Russia's Leningrad region, where the Kirishi refinery was hit. Ukraine also struck a plant near St Petersburg producing explosives and fuel for Russian missiles. Russia has attacked Ukraine's energy sector 128 times in the past week, prompting Kyiv to agree with the European Commission on a mechanism for faster EU funding. Kremlin officials confirmed trilateral talks with Ukraine and the US in Abu Dhabi this week.
