Moscow oil refinery near Kremlin hit in Ukrainian drone strike

A major oil refinery in Moscow was damaged in a Ukrainian drone attack, according to Russian and Ukrainian officials, with a fire reported at the facility located about 15 kilometres from the Kremlin.

The strike targeted the Moscow Oil Refinery in the Kapotnya district of the Russian capital, where emergency services responded to a fire following the attack.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the operation, describing it as evidence of Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities.
