Ukrainian Drones Target Moscow, Again Striking Oil Refinery
- Ukraine launched its largest-ever drone assault on Moscow Thursday morning, striking a major oil refinery and plunging the capital into its most disruptive air raid in over two years.
- The Gazprom Neft-operated refinery in Kapotnya was severely set ablaze, marking the second targeted strike on the vital facility in a single week; the complex supplies roughly 40% of the Moscow region's petroleum demand.
- Commercial aviation ground to a complete halt across the capital, forcing flight suspensions and passenger evacuations at Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo, and Zhukovsky airports, with carriers Aeroflot and Rossiya canceling more than 170 scheduled flights.
- Russia's Defense Ministry claimed it intercepted a staggering 555 drones nationwide, with approximately 200 downed on their approach to Moscow, though debris successfully breached air defenses to damage a residential tower, a major shopping mall, and private homes.
- The massive retaliation followed a Russian missile wave that hit Kyiv's historic monastery, coming just hours after President Zelenskyy secured new long-term defense pledges during coordination talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron.
