Russian statistical data leaked by hackers indicates that approximately 400,000 Russian citizens have died in combat since the invasion began.
The information originated from over 11 million death certificates detailing residence, age, and location of death obtained from the Russian statistical agency Rosstat by the Belarusian opposition-linked group Cyber Partisans and the Ukrainian hacker group Silent Crow.
The hackers shared the Rosstat data with Bloomberg News and a select number of other news outlets. Meanwhile, Ukraine launched a massive nighttime drone attack against Russia’s Leningrad region, prompting a fire at a refinery. Russian independent media and local authorities reported that dozens of drones were deployed, with the independent Telegram channel Astra identifying the targeted facility as the Kirisnefteorgsintez refinery owned by Surgutneftegaz in Kirishi.
In Ukraine, localized attacks continued as three people were killed in a strike in Odessa that hit a warehouse containing food for local kindergartens and schools, according to local military administration chief Serhiy Lysak and Oleh Kiper as cited by Ukrainska Pravda. Additional Russian strikes wounded three people in Balakliya and raised the injury toll to seven in Kremenchuk.
