Russia faced a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks including against oil refineries and reported fierce fighting with insurgents who’d crossed the border vowing to take the war to President Vladimir Putin.

Air defenses intercepted a total of 25 Ukrainian drones in seven regions including Moscow early Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said on its Telegram account. Strikes were continuing in several regions later Tuesday, according to Telegram statements from local authorities.
