Ukraine Targets Moscow Refinery in Repeated Drone Strike

Zelenskiy framed the strike as a direct retaliation for the ongoing assault on Ukrainian communities, calling the destruction of energy infrastructure a vital outcome of his military's strategic planning. The refinery, which serves as a critical node for the Russian war machine, remains a primary target for Kyiv’s long-range drone program.

Beyond the capital, Ukrainian forces expanded their reach by hitting additional targets within the Rostov region and across occupied territories in Ukraine. These coordinated strikes signal an intensification of Kyiv's efforts to degrade Russian rear-area support systems while the conflict continues to escalate across multiple fronts.
