Ukraine launches another drone attack on a Russian oil refinery in Moscow, the second such strike reported this week, while Russia fires missiles into Kyiv. Multiple outlets report that Ukrainian drones hit the Moscow refinery area in the southeastern district of Kapotnya, with witnesses describing flames and smoke after the attack. Moscow authorities say air defences intercept and destroy drones during what they describe as a large-scale assault. Reuters witnesses and reporting cited by several sources describe damage consistent with a fire following the strike.
At the same time, Russia conducts missile strikes on Kyiv, according to the outlets’ accounts. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is also reported to be seeking support from the United States and Europe as he works toward a peace deal. In parallel, other outlets cite Zelensky describing a drone attack on an oil refinery in western Siberia, indicating either a broader pattern of strikes or multiple reported incidents.
Across the reports, the key elements are the renewed attack on Moscow’s refinery, Russia’s missile fire into Kyiv, and Zelensky’s diplomatic push for external support.
