Ukraine launches largest-ever drone barrage on Moscow, setting oil refinery ablaze and wounding at least 17
Newsmax—Ukraine launched its largest drone and missile strike on Moscow since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, setting a major oil refinery southeast of the Kremlin ablaze and causing residents to report 'black rain' from the burning installation. At least 17 people were wounded and a shopping centre was also struck. The Kremlin acknowledged the attack while promising strikes on Ukraine would continue, and Russia threatened 'massive group strikes' in retaliation. Zelensky called the attack justified. Forbes analysts called the raid a landmark in complex drone warfare, noting the scale and coordination marked a new benchmark in Ukraine's long-range strike capability.
