This is the best summary I could come up with:
Drones sent by Ukraine struck two Rosneft-owned oil depots in Russia’s Smolensk region in an overnight attack on Wednesday.
As the emergency services worked on sites, some residents were evacuated from parts of Lipetsk in Russia’s southwest after a drone there fell on an industrial park.
There were no casualties reported in the attack, Vasily Anokhin, the governor of the Smolensk region, said in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
With Russia’s full-scale invasion in its third year, Ukraine has increasingly focused on targeting Russian oil and energy facilities with long-range drones.
As of the end of March, around 14 per cent of Russia’s primary oil refining capacity had been knocked out by Ukrainian drone attacks, according to Reuters calculations.
This year, Russia has stepped up combined missile and drone strikes targeting Ukraine’s grid system since mid-March.
