Sevastopol Bombing and Escalating War | Sydney News

A Russian officer, once a Ukrainian naval defector, was killed in Sevastopol in what’s being called an assassination — with a woman arrested over the bombing. Meanwhile, five died during a botched explosive disposal operation after a Ukrainian drone strike. Russia claims to have shot down 360 drones overnight, including in Crimea. Ukraine’s strikes keep escalating: an oil refinery in Orsk is shut down for months due to damage and sanctions. On the flip side, a Russian drone attack on a passenger train in southern Ukraine killed two — though officials say no one on board was hurt. UN reports civilian deaths surged to their highest since the war began, prompting Zelenskyy to urgently beg allies for more air defense missiles.
