WHAT HAPPENED

New reports describe a record Ukrainian drone strike on Russia's Arctic natural-gas region, attacks on Russian refineries, and a Russian drone strike on a Kyiv apartment block that killed a woman. The reports indicate continued attacks on strategic energy infrastructure alongside deadly strikes on civilians.

SO WHAT?

The reported geographic reach and reciprocal strikes raise the risk of wider damage to energy infrastructure and urban areas.
