Ukrainian drones strike Moscow oil refinery in latest attack on Russian fuel infrastructure

Ukrainian drones struck a Moscow refinery, causing a fire, according to reports of the attack on Russian oil infrastructure.

Ukraine has conducted multiple operations targeting Russian fuel facilities over recent months. Officials in Kyiv have outlined a strategy centered on two goals: reducing Moscow's revenue streams for the war effort and creating domestic pressure on Russian citizens through fuel supply disruptions.

Some Russian regions have reported fuel shortages following the attacks. The strikes form part of a broader Ukrainian campaign to weaken Russia's economic capacity to sustain its military operations.

Ukraine's targeting of energy infrastructure reflects a shift in how the country conducts its defense. Rather than focusing attacks solely on military positions near the front lines, Ukrainian forces have expanded operations to strike at facilities far from combat zones.
