Ukraine Launches Largest Drone Attack on Moscow, Refinery Set Ablaze
Close to 200 drones were fired toward the Russian capital in what officials described as the largest Ukrainian attack since the start of the full-scale war.
Ukraine launched one of its largest aerial assaults of the war this week, striking a major oil refinery in the Moscow region and sending thick columns of smoke over the Russian capital.
The scale of the strike
According to reports, close to 200 drones were fired toward Moscow, with a major refinery hit and a number of people wounded in the surrounding region. Residents reported disruption across the city.
Disruption beyond the target
Beyond the refinery itself, the attack disrupted commercial flights at Moscow airports, underscoring the growing reach of Ukraine's long-range drone programme.
A war that keeps escalating
The strike marks a significant escalation. Both sides have increasingly targeted energy and military infrastructure deep behind the front lines.
