Russia attacked the Poltava region with drones overnight on July 25, damaging four gas stations. No casualties were reported. According to Vitalii Dyakivnych, head of the Poltava Regional Military Administration, several facilities in the Poltava district came under attack.
"Enemy UAV strikes were recorded at two gas stations and a fire station," he said.
Later, Dyakivnych reported that two more gas stations had been attacked by Russian drones.
"Enemy UAVs attacked two more gas stations in the Poltava district overnight. Fortunately, there were no casualties," the regional governor said.
Debris from UAVs was also found on the grounds of private homes. Roofs, windows and a car were damaged. However, no reports of injuries were received by emergency services.
It is worth noting that Ukraine's Air Force did not report any drone movement toward the Poltava region during the night.
Attacks on gas stations
Ukrainian intelligence recently warned that Russian attacks could target gas stations, trucks, buses and passenger cars.
In recent days, Russian forces struck a gas station in Sumy, causing fires. Gas stations in Mykolaiv were also recently targeted.
Meanwhile, gas stations in Russia are also suffering in their own way, with some being put up for sale amid a fuel crisis caused by regular Ukrainian strikes on energy facilities in Russia.
