Ukraine has said there have been no drone attacks on its territory at night for the first time in six weeks – days after claiming it had struck a storage facility in Russia.
Last week, Ukraine said it had attacked a Russian storage site in the Krasnodar region, where around 400 drones were reportedly being kept.
Ukraine has been deploying new long-range drones to strike targets inside Russia, including airfields, oil refineries, and ammunition facilities.
Ukrainian intelligence also claimed on Monday it had destroyed a Russian military transport aircraft at an airfield in the Orenburg region.
It comes as Russia struck the southern port of Odesa on Monday, killing one person, Ukraine said.
Eight others were injured, while two merchant ships were damaged, officials added.
The developments came as Russian forces said they had captured another village in Ukraine as it concentrates on finding weaknesses ahead of the winter.
Moscow said Russian troops took Levadne in the southern Zaporizhzhia region.

Levadne was seized by the Russians early during the war before being recaptured by Ukrainian forces in a counter-offensive in the summer of 2023.
Ukrainian officials made no comment about Levadne’s possible capture, although they had previously noted Russian troops had assembled in the area.
On Friday, Russia’s state media made unverified reports claiming Vladimir Putin’s forces had taken control of the village of Ostrivske in eastern Ukraine.
