Moscow under attack
Russia: Ukraine attacks power plants with drones
According to Russian reports, the Ukrainian army has attacked refineries and power plants in Russia in a large-scale drone attack. The two neighboring regions of Moscow and Tver were particularly affected.
Other parts of the country were also affected. The mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, announced that a fire had broken out at the oil refinery in Moscow. According to the Ministry of Defense, the air defense destroyed 158 drones.
Energy supply in the sights
The total number of drones fired by Ukraine at targets in Russia remains unclear. The Ukrainian military has repeatedly targeted energy supplies and oil refineries in Russia.
According to previous information, no one was injured in the drone attack. However, Russia rarely discloses the full extent of the damage caused by Ukrainian attacks. It is not possible to independently verify information on the fighting.
Moscow's mayor Sobyanin wrote on Telegram that at least nine drones had been intercepted and destroyed in Moscow and the surrounding area. Several drones had been aimed at the Moscow refinery. The Ukrainian armed forces had also attempted to attack the Kashira power plant in the Moscow Oblast with three drones.
The governors of Bryansk, Kursk, Voronezh and Lipetsk also reported that Ukrainian drones had been intercepted and destroyed. According to the respective governors, drones were also intercepted over Lipetsk, Ryazan and Tula.
