Drones and missiles trade blows across the front
Summary
A look back at the exchange of strikes reported on the weekend of 27–28 April 2024, targeting energy sites on both sides.
What did the latest round of long-range strikes look like on 28 April 2024? The picture came from reports dated 27 April, when both sides were described as hitting energy and military infrastructure far from the front line.
Ukraine said it used drones to attack two oil refineries and an airfield in Russia's Krasnodar Krai. The claim placed the targets deep inside Russian territory, in the country's south.
On the same date, Russian missiles struck Ukrainian power plants and natural gas storage facilities. The reported locations were Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts, spread across western and central Ukraine.
Taken together, the reports showed each side targeting the other's energy infrastructure by air. Ukraine's account named refineries and an airfield; the Russian strikes were reported against power generation and gas storage.
