Ukraine says it has attacked and damaged several targets in Russia. As President Volodymyr Zelenskyj announced on Facebook, two chemical factories in the regions of Perm in the foothills of the Urals and Samara in southeastern Russia were attacked with long-range drones. In addition, a factory producing drones was hit in Taganrog on the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov. The information could not be independently verified.

The General Staff in Kyiv had previously reported the attack in the Samara region. Accordingly, a fire was discovered on the premises of the company in Tolyatti. The company specializes, among other things, in the production of synthetic rubbers, which is important for the use of tactical and ballistic missiles, the company said.

Regional Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev wrote on Telegram early in the morning only about a large Ukrainian drone attack. The mayor of the city of Tolyatti, Ilya Sukhich, said that one person had been taken to the hospital as a result of a massive attack on the city. Some multi-story residential buildings were damaged.

Unverifiable photos and videos appeared on social media showing a large cloud of smoke in Tolyatti. Ukraine has been defending itself against a large-scale Russian invasion with Western help for more than four and a half years. As part of its defensive campaign, it repeatedly targets targets in the Russian hinterland. (dpa)

Kremlin: Decision on Putin's G20 participation in Miami still open

According to the Kremlin, Russia has not yet decided whether President Vladimir Putin will attend the G20 summit in December in the USA. “We don’t know yet whether we will travel to Miami,” said presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, according to the Russian news agency Interfax. The Kremlin's foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, said the possibility of Putin's participation had not yet been discussed in Moscow.

Peskov rejected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's suggestion that, if Putin attended, he would also travel to the G20 summit in Miami in order to seek a direct meeting with him. He reiterated the Russian position that Zelensky should come to Moscow for a meeting with Putin. Zelensky had repeatedly agreed to meet with Putin, but not in Moscow. In April, US President Donald Trump described Putin's participation in the summit of leading industrialized and emerging countries as very helpful. Putin then left it open whether he would come to Miami. (rtr)
