Ukraine launched drone attacks on two oil refineries in Rostov and Ryazan, Russia, near the Ukrainian border. The strikes triggered fires at the refineries, resulting in 8 injuries. Russian Ministry of Emergencies teams responded to the blaze in Ryazan, where 3 workers were injured. Although production ceased temporarily, the refinery resumed operations later in the day. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Japan lifted tsunami warnings triggered by the 8.8 magnitude quake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula. Over 2 million people were urged to evacuate across 21 prefectures. Minor waves up to 1.3 meters were recorded. Transport and postal services were disrupted as a precaution. Authorities still advise coastal residents to stay alert.
