A massive Ukrainian drone attack hit an oil refinery in Moscow, reportedly the largest air raid on the Russian capital since the start of the war. According to reports, multiple facilities including a fuel storage tank were struck, sending a roof airborne. The strike follows a series of escalating UAV attacks on Moscow's energy infrastructure this week.
A Ukrainian drone strike struck a Moscow oil refinery on Thursday afternoon in what is being described by reports as the largest air raid on the Russian capital since the war began. Footage circulating on social media showed a fuel storage tank's roof blown completely off, an image that resembled earlier strikes as The Zioneer reported at 13:51 Jerusalem. The attack follows a pattern of escalating UAV raids on Moscow's strategic energy infrastructure: The Zioneer reported at 13:20 Jerusalem that a fire at the same refinery had grounded flights earlier today, and on Tuesday as a separate article noted, a strike temporarily halted the main Moscow refinery, which supplies 40% of the city's fuel. The scale of this wave — possibly the largest yet — suggests a deliberate campaign to pressure Moscow's fuel supply. Casualty figures and the exact number of drones used have not been independently verified; a monitored channel characterized the scenes as 'apocalyptic.'
