250 Kyiv drones strike key Russian oil depot

UKRAINE staged one of its biggest attacks in the war with Russia, striking a major explosives plant and the largest oil depot in occupied Crimea.

Both exploded in huge flames — two of multiple targets blasted in an overnight onslaught against Vladimir Putin’s war machine involving more than 250 drones.

The blitzkrieg came the day after savage Russian terror strikes which wiped out five members of one family in Lviv, including Anastasia Hrytsiv, 15, her mother Ulyana, 40, her stepfather and his parents.

Her bereaved father has been a fighter against Russia for almost four years.

Ukrainian drones ignited the Sverdlov plant in Dzerzhinsk, one of the largest Russian ordnance companies, 230 miles east of Moscow in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
