Nine regions across Russia were hit by a large orchestrated drone attack by Ukraine.
The attacks targeted several oil refineries which caught fire.
Russian state medium RIA Novosti reported that Russian air defense systems reacted to
25 drones launched from Ukraine over several regions across Russia.
