A significant gasoline shortage has reached Arkhangelsk, the regional capital of Arkhangelsk Oblast, by 11:10 PM UTC on October 4th, 2025, as independent gas stations have run out of fuel for over two weeks, according to a report from 29.ru. While five gas station chains operate in Arkhangelsk, three independent stations have been unable to supply gasoline for more than two weeks, a situation that has now escalated to the regional center from smaller towns, the report states. Major chains like Tatneft and Lukoil still have gasoline available. This development follows a period of reported widespread UAV launches and explosions across Ukraine's Donetsk and Kharkiv regions between 7:37 PM and 8:06 PM UTC on October 4th, 2025. Ukrainian monitoring channels indicated significant UAV activity, with explosions heard in Slavyansk and numerous drones reported in the Kharkiv region. Air raid alerts were also issued for Zhytomyr due to potential UAV activity, and Shahed-136 drones were reported in the Kharkiv region between 7:07 PM and 7:36 PM UTC.
