Russian losses: Ukraine takes out several Shahed drones

Ukrainian air defense successfully shot down three Shahed-131/136 drones over the Odesa Oblast during the night of October 5th to 6th.

The governor of the region, Oleh Kiper, reported this according to The Kyiv Independent. The primary target of the attack was the port infrastructure in the Izmail district of the Odesa Oblast. Kiper mentioned that the attack damaged a grain storage facility, and nine trucks caught fire. The fire has since been extinguished. At the time of the attack, the region had an air raid alarm in effect for at least three hours.

According to n-tv.de, Russia has lifted the ban on diesel exports through pipelines and ports. The Russian government announced this on Telegram, stating, “The government has lifted restrictions on the export of diesel fuel delivered to seaports via pipelines, provided that the manufacturer supplies at least 50 percent of the diesel fuel produced to the domestic market.” Diesel fuel export restrictions from Russia, the world’s leading exporter of diesel, had driven prices higher worldwide. However, Russia also suffered from high domestic prices and shortages of gasoline and diesel in recent months, as it was advantageous for refineries to sell their products abroad due to high export prices.
