Ukraine launches its largest aerial assault on Moscow, using hundreds of drones and long-range strike systems that penetrate Russia’s capital defenses. The attack forces the Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya to halt crude processing after major units suffer fire damage, worsening fuel shortages and price pressures inside Russia. Civilian areas are also hit by debris and impacts, killing at least three people, injuring more than 20, and forcing apartment evacuations. Moscow airports suspend or delay hundreds of flights, while Kyiv frames the refinery strike as retaliation against Russia’s attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
