> A think tank says Russia has struck at least 246 petrol stations in Ukraine since April. Two stations in Kharkiv were hit by drones on Monday, injuring two people, while fuel companies urge motorists to fill up quickly and leave. Police advise drivers to abandon vehicles if air-raid alerts sound. Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries have also caused severe fuel shortages in Russia.
