Ukraine launches a large drone attack on Moscow, with Russian officials reporting damage to an oil refinery and a deadly outcome. Multiple outlets report that two people die and fires break out in the capital after the strike.
Russian officials describe the assault as one of the biggest drone barrages, including claims that hundreds of drones are intercepted before reaching their targets. Reports say the Moscow Oil Refinery in the Kapotnya area is hit, with additional impact described near logistics or warehouse sites in the Moscow region. Several outlets also place the attack amid Russia’s parliamentary elections, citing it as occurring on or around the final day of voting.
Outlets align on the core incident—drones reaching Moscow and striking an oil refinery—while differing on details such as the number of drones claimed intercepted and the specific breadth of other affected sites. The Kyiv Post and others also cite damage beyond the refinery, while ABC News and Bloomberg focus on the refinery and the reported scale of the attack. Deutsche Welle additionally notes separate Russian strikes in Ukraine’s Kyiv region, reflecting parallel fighting occurring outside Moscow.
