The strikes reportedly involved Iskander and Zircon missiles, alongside 125 drones. In parallel, Ukraine conducted drone assaults on Russian targets, hitting two oil tankers in the Black Sea and impacting the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal. A drone attack also caused a fire in an industrial park in Russia's Stavropol region.
