Ukraine struck a fuel pumping station in Russia’s Krasnodar region overnight, hours before the start of 32-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Easter and a prisoner-of-war swap.

Kyiv’s forces hit the Krymskaya facility, Ukraine’s General Staff said on Telegram. Earlier, authorities of the southern Russian region reported on Telegram that a drone attack had caused a fire at a fuel depot, but didn’t specifically mention the pumping station. The fire was extinguished by the morning, according to regional authorities.
