A Ukrainian drone struck a major Gazprom-owned oil refinery near Moscow on Tuesday morning, as part of a wider attack on the Russian capital. The facility is the largest in Moscow and supplies approximately 35% of the fuel needed for the city’s eight million residents. The attack raises concerns about potential fuel shortages and disruptions to daily life in Moscow. Russian authorities have confirmed the strike and are assessing the extent of the damage. While details remain limited, the incident marks a significant escalation in Ukraine’s targeting of Russian infrastructure. This is one of the most impactful strikes on Russian territory aimed at crippling its war effort by impacting logistical capabilities. Further attacks are anticipated as the conflict continues.
