Ukrainian drone attack kills four at Russian oil refinery

Four people were killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on an oil refinery in southern Russia, while Moscow faced a massive drone assault on Thursday evening. No casualties were reported in the capital. Russian air defense shot down 144 drones approaching Moscow, according to Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, with the defense ministry reporting 1,200 drones downed nationwide. The attack on the Lukoil refinery in Volgograd killed four and injured two, causing a large fire. Ukraine has intensified strikes on Russian oil facilities since October, reducing refining capacity by 30 percent. In response, Russian attacks caused power outages in twelve Ukrainian regions, with at least three deaths reported in Zaporizhzhia and Odesa.
