INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Updated with Ukrainian army statement.Russia's Defense Ministery said Friday that its air defense forces downed 114 drones launched
overnight by Ukraine, with at least one person killed in the mass wave of attacks."Russian anti-aerial defense systems intercepted and
destroyed 70 drones over Crimea and the Black Sea, 43 drones over the Krasnodar region and one drone over Volgograd," the defense ministry
said in a statement.In the southern Krasnodar region, a worker at a heating station was killed when a drone struck the facility near the
Yuzhny train station, Governor Venyamin Kondratyev said on Telegram.Several administrative buildings at an oil refinery were also damaged in
against "the Afipskiy, Ilskiy, Krasnodar and Astrakhan oil refineries," as well as a radio and intelligence center in southern Russia.The
Ukrainian military added that one of its drones targeted a "preparation and storage area" in the Krasnodar region, resulting in a "series of
explosions and a fire with subsequent detonation."Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has ramped up its attacks on Russia's energy
for Moscow's war machine.Meanwhile, Russian missile and drone strikes aimed at Ukraine's energy infrastructure have crippled the country's
electricity generation capacity and have forced Kyiv to impose rolling blackouts and import electricity from the EU.
