What happened
Russia says it hit a Ukrainian postal hub and ship as Ukraine strikes Ryazan. The overnight drone strikes targeted energy and logistics sites, and injuries were reported on both sides.
Why it matters
For India, this matters mainly through crude oil, freight, and risk sentiment. Any wider disruption in the Russia-Ukraine war can keep energy prices firm and make import costs less predictable. It can also weigh on sectors that use fuel heavily and on the broader market mood.
Global impact
Global markets often react first in oil, shipping, and European risk assets when the war intensifies. If energy or logistics routes look more exposed, traders can demand a higher risk premium across equities and currencies.
