Ukraine’s air force reported Russia launched 100 drones, 70 of which were intercepted, while 30 struck 12 locations.
Russia claimed to have downed 126 Ukrainian drones in the same period.
One person was killed in Saratov when a drone struck near a residential building, damaging an industrial site.
Ukraine confirmed the attack targeted a major oil refinery supplying Russian forces.
