A record overnight wave of drone attacks targets Moscow and nearby areas, according to local authorities and multiple reports. The attacks kill at least three people and leave more than a dozen others wounded. Damage is reported across several suburbs, with residential buildings among the affected sites. One of the reported targets is Moscow’s oil refinery, which is hit in a rare strike. The attack also leads to rolling disruptions at all four Moscow airports beginning late Saturday, with dozens of flight cancellations and delays. Operations later resume after the disruptions.
The reports describe the assault as part of ongoing fighting between Russia and Ukraine, with drones launched into the Moscow region. While details about the number of drones and the extent of refinery damage are not fully consistent across accounts, all sources cite the same core outcomes: fatalities, injuries, residential damage in outlying districts, a refinery target, and temporary airport disruptions followed by resumed operations.
