Ukraine launched another large-scale attack on a major oil refinery deep in Moscow Oblast, according to reports. The refinery, one of Russia's largest, was struck hours ago in what sources describe as part of a broader wave. Damage and casualty figures are not yet available.
Ukraine struck a major oil refinery in Moscow Oblast for the second time this week, according to a single report from Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The strike took place overnight, as part of a broader Ukrainian campaign against Russian energy infrastructure.
The latest strike follows a series of Ukrainian drone attacks on the Moscow oil refinery earlier this week. At 10:19 Tuesday, The Zioneer first reported a drone strike on the refinery — the same facility that supplies 40% of Moscow's fuel — citing Abu Ali Express. By 14:12 Tuesday, the desk reported that the refinery had been halted by a powerful explosion, based on an Arabic-language source. At 10:19 Jerusalem, the desk added Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin's confirmation of damage to the facility, with no casualties reported. This new report describes a second hit on a separate major refinery in Moscow Oblast.
As The Zioneer has reported over the past week (BACKGROUND items), Ukraine has conducted a series of large-scale drone attacks across Russia — including strikes on energy facilities in Samara (Jun 10), Nizhnekamsk (Jun 12), Tatarstan's Shahed drone plant (Jun 12), and Crimea infrastructure (Jun 13) — demonstrating an expanding operational reach into deep Russian territory.
This report is attributed to a single source (Rozentzweig). The identity of the specific refinery and the extent of damage or casualties have not been independently confirmed or corroborated by any other outlet as of 09:13 Jerusalem.
