Russia's Defense Ministry threatened to intensify strikes on Kyiv in response to a Ukrainian attack on a Moscow oil refinery overnight on September 20. The ministry claimed Ukraine attempted to disrupt Russia's parliamentary elections. The ministry said it shot down 8 missiles and 1,951 drones, asserting the attack on Moscow failed, though it did not address a large fire at the Moscow refinery. It vowed to continue and strengthen precision strikes on military targets in Kyiv. Ukrainian drones breached air defenses, causing fires at the Kapotnya refinery, a logistics park, and a power plant, and disrupting Moscow airports with hundreds of flight cancellations.
