Ukrainian attack hits Moscow refinery

Ukrainian drones and missiles struck Moscow on Sunday morning, targeting the Gazprom-MNPZ oil refinery and residential buildings. At least two people were killed in the strikes.

Refinery is Russia's largest fuel source

The Gazprom-MNPZ refinery processes around 11 million tons of oil per year and supplies fuel to Moscow. It's one of Russia's most critical energy facilities.

Ukraine used new weapons in strike

President Zelenskyy said Ukraine deployed the Flamingo cruise missile and Pelican ballistic missile, marking the first reported use of the Pelican against Russia.

Zelenskyy targets Russia's war funding

Zelenskyy said the refinery contributes billions of dollars to Russia's war machine. He called on Moscow to end the war instead of spending on air defense.

“Moscow must end its brutal war and choose peace instead of building layered rings of air defense at the expense of other regions.”

Russia claims record drone interceptions

Russia's Defense Ministry said it shot down 1,110 Ukrainian drones overnight, the largest figure it has ever reported. Moscow also shot down 450 drones heading toward the capital.

Residential areas damaged, airports closed

Fires broke out in apartment buildings across the Moscow region, killing two people and injuring 20 others. All four of Moscow's international airports were temporarily closed.

Attack timed with Russian elections

Moscow's mayor suggested the strike was planned to disrupt parliamentary elections voting on Sunday. Ukraine's military has increasingly targeted Russian infrastructure during key political moments.

Russia also strikes Ukrainian territory

Russia launched 138 drones at Ukraine overnight, with 101 intercepted. Three people, including two children, were killed in a Russian attack on the Kyiv region.
