Ukrainian drone attack targets Moscow and southern Russian oil refineries
A massive Ukrainian drone attack targeted Moscow overnight, with Russian officials reporting over 100 drones shot down by air defenses. The mayor stated emergency services were deployed to sites where debris fell, though Ukraine has not confirmed the assault. The Russian aviation authority imposed flight restrictions at multiple Moscow airports due to the attack. Additionally, Ukrainian drones struck Lukoil's major oil refinery in Volgograd and another facility near Rostov-on-Don, with pro-Ukrainian channels showing large fires at the refinery. The Volgograd governor confirmed extensive attacks and industrial fires. This follows recent Ukrainian drone strikes on Siberian oil facilities and near St. Petersburg, plus a drone hitting a Russian warship in the Gulf of Finland earlier this week.
