Russia intensified its air campaign by striking a petrol station in Kyiv and an agribusiness facility in Dnipro, authorities said. The attack on the Bunge sunflower oil facility in Dnipro killed two people and was described by Ukraine's Foreign Minister as a systematic campaign against American businesses.

The strikes on civilian and economic infrastructure, particularly those targeting foreign businesses, underscore the escalating nature of the Russia-Ukraine war and highlight the vulnerability of Ukraine's economic assets and the need for enhanced air defense capabilities.
Russia has escalated its air campaign against Ukraine, targeting critical logistic and economic sites, including a petrol station in Kyiv and an agribusiness facility in Dnipro. Authorities confirmed the strikes on Thursday, with Moscow intensifying its attacks on infrastructure. The petrol station in Kyiv was hit by a jet-powered drone, marking the first such attack of its kind in the capital and resulting in four injuries. This incident follows a pattern of nearly 300 recent attacks on similar facilities near frontline regions, complicating Ukraine's defense efforts due to a shortage of air defense systems. In Dnipro, a fatal attack on a Bunge sunflower oil facility, identified as "Oleyina," claimed two lives. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that these attacks are not coincidental but part of Moscow's systematic terrorist campaign against American businesses and economic interests. The facility, which belongs to the American corporation Bunge, has reportedly been shelled repeatedly. The attacks underscore the urgent need for Ukraine to strengthen its air defense and increase pressure on Russia to end the war.
