Ukraine launched a wave of devastating drone and missile attacks overnight targeting industrial facilities and oil depots in several Russian cities.
The brutal aerial onslaught caused a series of major fires to break out, as emergency services struggled to contain the damage.
Ukrainian UAVs targeted the industrial Orgsintez plant in Kazan, a city located 526 miles to the east of Moscow.
The facility is one of Russia's largest manufacturers of high-strength plastics and is situated in the northern outskirts of the city.
A gas tank close to the industrial site was struck in the attack, causing it to burst into flames.
Video images shot by locals show a raging inferno with giant flames leaping into the night's sky.
In a press release, local officials said: “Today at 5:20 am in the suburbs of Kazan, a gas tank caught fire as a result of a UAV attack."
They added that were no reports of any casualties and that the head of Tartarstan. Rustam Minnikhanov, later inspected the damage.
An oil depot in Engels, Saratov, also came under attack from Ukrainian drones overnight on Monday.
The fuel facility is believed to be the same one that was struck on January 8, sparking a huge fire that was only extinguished five days later.
Images shared on social media channels show a large conflagration on the horizon, with thick plumes of black smoke spiralling skywards.

Still More #ComDem_Insanity!
I don’t see why Russia hasn’t taken out the corrupt leader of Ukraine. Take him out and the war would likely be over.
Expect retaliation.
What is better than having an idiot in charge of the enemy?
Marcus daily garbage post from British birdcage liner.
What Kazan doink?
This is the retaliation. Russia could be living peacefully if it had not attacked Ukraine and this would all stop if Russia would just go home. Russia reaping what it has sowed.
A lot of people forget that Russia invaded Ukraine.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
How much did you get from the fed for this weeks spamming
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Ukraine is winning! On to Moscow! The war is almost over—just send more bucks. Ukraine Victory! Sarc
:-)
Or a false flag disguised as retaliation, that provides some pretext for interrupting the transfer of power in the US.
Yes, The Ukraine launched PERSONAL attacks on The Putin.
John Varga is one dumb mofo.
What Pokrovsk doink, Varga, ya effin idjit?
Given that he is not the one leading their defense effort, there would be no change at all. He is just a politician, not a general, and patriotic Ukrainians aren’t going to quit defending their homas if he’s gone.
Would you quit fighting for yours because of a mere change in political leadership? Of course we wouldn’t.
No more than you get from comrade Putin, or Bernie Sanders and his communist ilk.
