Ukraine Strikes Moscow Oil Refinery Again, Hundreds of Flights Disrupted

Ukraine hit a major Moscow oil refinery for the second time in a week, sending huge black plumes of smoke over the Russian capital. The attack was part of a large-scale drone wave, one of the biggest since Russia’s full-scale invasion began over four years ago, officials said. Moscow’s mayor, Sergey Sobyanin, confirmed that several drones reached the refinery, owned by Russian oil producer Gazprom Neft. The strike disrupted hundreds of flights at Moscow’s airports, causing widespread travel delays. The operation marks a significant escalation in Ukraine’s ability to strike deep inside Russian territory. The refinery, located on the southeastern outskirts of Moscow, is a key fuel supplier for the region.
