Ukrainian Drone Attack Damages Russian Industrial Facility Near Moscow Amid Ongoing StrikesPreviousNext

Russian authorities reported a Ukrainian drone attack on an industrial facility in the Nizhny Novgorod region near Moscow, causing significant damage but no reported casualties. Over 100 drones were reportedly intercepted during the strike. Ukrainian sources claimed the target was a major oil refinery, part of ongoing strikes on Russian energy infrastructure in retaliation for attacks on Ukraine. Concurrently, Russia continued missile strikes on Ukrainian power infrastructure, causing widespread outages. Both sides maintain active long-range attacks amid the ongoing conflict.
