Ukraine says it attacked Russian oil refinery near Moscow as winter looms
"The Ukrainian army says it has struck a Russian oil refinery near the capital Moscow, a day after Russia launched massive, deadly attacks on Kyiv. The Ukrainian army said on social media on Saturday that it hit a refinery in the Ryazan region as part of efforts to reduce the enemy's ability to launch missile and bomb strikes."
"The Russian attacks on Ukraine's capital on Friday killed at least six people and wounded nearly three dozen more, with residential buildings and other sites targeted. Describing it as a wicked attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said about 430 drones and 18 missiles, including ballistic and aeroballistic missiles, were used in the Russian assault."
"Last week, Ukrenergo, Ukraine's state-run electricity transmission systems operator, announced that most regions across the country would undergo power cuts as crews worked to repair infrastructure damaged in Russian strikes. Separately on Saturday, Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov said Russian air defences shot down 25 Ukrainian drones over the region during the night. Falling debris caused a fire on the premises of one enterprise, Malkov said on Telegram, adding that there had been no casualties."
Ukrainian forces reported striking a Russian oil refinery in the Ryazan region near Moscow to reduce Russia's capacity to launch missile and bomb strikes. Russia carried out a massive assault on Kyiv using roughly 430 drones and 18 missiles, which killed at least six people and wounded nearly three dozen. Both sides have increasingly targeted energy infrastructure ahead of winter, prompting widespread damage and power cuts. Ukrenergo announced planned regional power outages while repairs continue. Russian air defences in Ryazan reportedly shot down 25 Ukrainian drones, causing debris and a fire but no casualties. An external power line to the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia plant was switched off by automatic protection and the situation remained stable.
