Ukraine’s Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) on Saturday reported that its drones hit the Shahed storage airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk and the Elektropribor military plant in Penza in Russia, just as two people were killed by Russian strikes on Kherson.

Ukraine’s drone attack on Russia reportedly hit the Elektropribor plant in Penza, which Kyiv claims works for the Russian defence industry.

According to Ukrainian special services, equipment for digital networks in military command systems, devices for aviation, armoured vehicles, ships, and spacecraft are produced there.

Ukraine claimed their first drone attack at the Primorsko-Akhtarsk military airbase in Krasnodar Krai caused a fire to break out. The storage and launch sites of the Shahed attack drones were also targeted, according to the SSU.

Videos of a massive fire that was purportedly on the premises of the Novokuibyshevsk oil plant in Samara Oblast were shared on social media.

The footage on Telegram, widely used to disseminate information about Russia’s war in Ukraine, captured drone-like activity and the reaction of air defence systems.

The governor of the region, Vyacheslav Fedorishchev, confirmed the drone strike on Novokuibyshevsk. “Enemy UAVs attacked one of the industrial facilities in Novokuibyshevsk this morning. Emergency services are working at the scene,” he wrote on Telegram.

Internet service was subsequently restricted across the oblast, and operations at the Samara airport were suspended, Fedorishchev said.

Russian attack kills two people in Kherson

Meanwhile, two people were killed overnight in Kherson by Russian shelling, according to the Kherson Oblast Military Administration.

The deaths in Kherson were the latest in a barrage of Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, including that of the capital Kyiv early Friday that killed 31 people, among them five children. Around 150 people were injured.

Two people were killed on Saturday morning in Kherson by a Russian attack, according to the Kherson Oblast Military Administration.

A Russian airstrike on Kherson’s Korabelnyi area left a 68-year-old lady dead and two others injured: a 79-year-old man who received blast trauma and a 41-year-old man who suffered various injuries to his limbs and torso, according to local media.

One person was reportedly killed in the area on Friday and nine people injured.

The body of a man was found beneath the debris of a residential structure in the Dniprovskyi area shelled by Russia, local officials said.

Ukraine says they are holding off Russia, but Moscow’s summer offensive is proving to be the deadliest yet for Kyiv.

Moscow’s summer offensive deadliest for Ukraine

On Saturday, the Ukrainian Air Force reported it had foiled or suppressed 45 out of 53 Russian drones against Ukraine overnight.

As part of its defence, Ukraine sank several Russian warships in the Black Sea, crippling Moscow’s naval capability and forcing it to redeploy its fleet from Russian-occupied Crimea to Novorossiysk in a series of strikes earlier in the war, now in its fourth year.

And in a 1 June offensive code-named “Spiderweb,” Ukraine employed drones to strike multiple Russian air sites that house long-range bombers throughout Russia, from the Arctic Kola Peninsula to Siberia.

The drones were launched from trucks covertly placed near the bases, taking the Russian military by surprise in a humiliating blow to the Kremlin.

The raid destroyed or damaged many of the bombers that had been used by Moscow to launch aerial attacks on Ukraine, providing a major morale boost for Kyiv at a time when Kyiv’s undermanned and under-gunned forces are facing Russian attacks along the 1,000-kilometre front line.

President Donald Trump is being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Cambodia for helping to avert a deadly war in the region.

Cambodia’s Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol announced the decision on Friday, citing Trump’s role in halting its border dispute with Thailand.

Clashes between the two neighboring countries broke out late last week, with each accusing the other of firing first.

At least 43 people were killed in intense skirmishes, which lasted five days and displaced more than 300,000 people on both sides of the border.

The conflict began to wind down after Trump called Thai Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai on July 26, Reuters reported.

A ceasefire was agreed to in Malaysia on July 28, ending the worst fighting between the two nations in the last decade. 

Speaking to reporters earlier in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, Chanthol thanked Trump for intervening and said he deserved to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The prize is the highest-profile international award given to an individual or organization deemed to have done the most to ‘advance fellowship between nations’.

Most recently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated Trump for the prize for his work in 2020 negotiating the Abraham Accords between Israel and several other Arab nations.

Netanyahu’s letter to the prize committee, which he handed to the president at the White House during a visit on July 7, said Trump had ‘created new opportunities to expand the circle of peace and normalization’ in the Middle East.

Trump has assisted Israel’s war in Gaza and has also aided in its campaign against Iran, authorizing a mission in June to destroy Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites.

Pakistan also said in June that it would recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping to resolve a conflict it had with India back in May.

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death. The ceremony is held in Oslo, Norway.

After peace was declared between Cambodia and Thailand, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X that Trump made it happen.

‘Give him the Nobel Peace Prize!,’ she said.

Cambodia became the third country to nominate Trump for the coveted prize after he set its tariff rate at 19 percent on Friday, which is a reduced rate from the 49 percent he planned to charge on Cambodian exports (Pictured: Trump announcing his Liberation Day tariffs at the White House on April 2, 2025)

Cambodia’s nod to Trump comes after the United States set the tariff rate on Cambodian goods at 19 percent.

When Trump first announced his ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs at the White House on April 2, Cambodia was originally to be hit with a 49 percent import tax.

That was the highest of any Southeast Asian nation, and it likely would have crippled Cambodia since the US is its single largest export market.

Cambodia is where huge companies such as Gap, Levi’s and Nike choose to manufacture their clothing and sneakers.

Chanthol said he was grateful for the reduced rate.

Thailand and Indonesia also received a 19 percent tariff rate on Friday, while Vietnam was slapped with a 20 percent rate.
