The Hindu - International · world

Russia reported that a drone struck an "industrial enterprise" east of Moscow overnight, causing significant damage. Governor Gleb Nikitin stated that over 100 drones were destroyed and there were no casualties. Ukrainian media, however, claimed the target was the Kstovo oil refinery, described as one of Russia's largest fuel and lubricant producers. This incident follows Russia's assertion that Ukraine resumed strikes on its oil refineries after a brief pause. Kyiv has targeted Russian energy sites in retaliation for Moscow's attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure.
