Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 10:32

TL;DR

A new wave of Ukrainian drones has struck oil refineries in Moscow, according to Russian sources. The attack is the latest in a sustained campaign on Russian energy infrastructure. Casualty figures and the extent of damage have not yet been reported.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Russian sources reported Thursday morning that a fresh wave of Ukrainian drones struck oil refineries in and around Moscow. The reported attack follows two earlier waves documented by The Zioneer on the same day — a large-scale drone salvo reported at 09:49 and a subsequent strike on a previously-hit refinery at 09:47 — and comes hours after Russia said hundreds of drones had been launched toward the capital, grounding its airports (10:23). The campaign, which has hit refineries from Nizhnekamsk to Krasnodar over the past week, has forced Russia to begin importing fuels from Asian countries. Details on the exact targets, intercepts, and casualties remain unconfirmed.
