Ukraine and Russia exchanged overnight drone strikes into early Friday, with Ukraine hitting oil refineries and a petrochemicals plant while Russia attacked railway stations and electrical substations.

Ukraine's strikes hit an apartment block in Russia's central Tatarstan injuring three, and Russia's attack in Ukraine's Sumy killed a railway worker. Russia said on Friday it had taken control of the settlement of Priyut in Donetsk.
