On February 2, a Russian air strike on central Kherson injured two people and damaged residential buildings, with video evidence provided by Oleksandr Prokudin. The following day, Ukraine's air defenses downed nine out of fourteen Russian drones in Kryvyi Rih, leading to power outages. Concurrently, a major Russian oil refinery in Volgograd caught fire after a drone attack on February 3, with no casualties reported. The Volgograd refinery, belonging to Lukoil and being the largest producer of petroleum products in the Russian Southern Federal District, experienced a partial disruption in production. Despite the fire being extinguished, the attack reflects Ukraine's strategy to impose direct sanctions on Russia's oil and gas industry, with the Ukrainian SBU reportedly involved. Additionally, a Russian attack on a granary in Poltava Oblast destroyed part of the harvest stored inside, and a DTEK thermal power plant was 'severely damaged' in another attack. Furthermore, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence reported that a Russian Tu-95 pilot involved in missile strikes on Ukraine was shot.
