Overnight Ukrainian drone attacks set fire to a major oil refinery in Moscow and an oil depot that supplies gas stations across the southern Krasnodar region.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said at least one drone struck a Gazprom Neft-operated oil refinery located around 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) southeast of central Moscow. According to him, Ukraine launched 60 drones at the Russian capital overnight.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shared a video of a drone bursting into a fireball as it hits the facility. He called the strike a “just response” to Russia’s ongoing attacks and protracted invasion of Ukraine.
“The Moscow region felt the reach of Ukraine's long-range capabilities,” Zelensky wrote in a post on X.
Sobyanin said no one was harmed in the drone strike. It was not immediately clear whether the incident disrupted operations at the oil refinery, which supplies around a third of Moscow’s gasoline and fuel.
