Ukraine launches largest drone attack on Moscow, hitting oil refinery

irishtimes.com

Ukraine launched its largest-ever drone attack on Moscow, setting a major oil refinery ablaze and killing at least two people, as Russia's parliamentary elections entered their final day. Moscow's mayor said air defences shot down 450 drones, calling the attack "unprecedented" and claiming it was planned to disrupt the vote. The Moscow Refinery, a nearby power station, and residential buildings were hit, with 20 people injured and flights grounded at all three main airports. The strikes continued despite Donald Trump's claim that both sides had agreed to halt energy attacks. Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said domestically produced drones targeted facilities supporting Russia's war machine, while Russia rejected ceasefire calls ahead of expected winter air strikes.
