> A drone attack sparked a fire at an industrial facility in Russia’s Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District on Oct. 16, regional governor Ruslan Kukharuk said. Ukrainian activist Serhii Sternenko identified it as the Surgut Condensate Stabilization Plant, but the claim could not be independently verified and Ukrainian officials have not publicly claimed responsibility. The roundup also reports Pope Leo’s call for Putin to permit aid and civilian evacuations from Russian-occupied Oleshky.
