Ukrainian drone strike on Moscow kills one, sets region's largest oil depot ablaze
Ukraine carried out a large-scale drone attack on Moscow and the surrounding region, killing one person and sparking a fire at the area's largest oil depot.
Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack overnight on the Russian capital Moscow and the broader Moscow region.
The strike resulted in one fatality. At the same time, a fire broke out at the largest oil depot in the region, pointing to significant damage to local fuel infrastructure.
Scale of the attack
According to available information, the attack was extensive, affecting multiple locations across the Moscow region rather than the capital alone. The oil depot where the fire started is described as the largest facility of its kind in the region, suggesting a possible impact on local fuel supplies.
Further details about the scale of the attack, the number of drones involved, and any additional damage have not yet been disclosed. It also remains unclear how long the fire at the oil depot continued or how extensive the infrastructure damage ultimately was.
Such long-range strikes on Russian territory, including against energy and fuel facilities, have occurred regularly throughout the war, as Ukraine seeks to undermine Russia's ability to supply fuel to its military forces and economy.
