The Drone Offensive
According to Russian officials, more than 150 drones were launched by Ukraine, with debris causing fires at the Moscow Oil Refinery and the Konakovo Power Station in the Tver region, one of central Russia’s largest energy producers. The Russian Defense Ministry reported on Telegram that air defense units managed to destroy 158 drones overnight, nine of which were aimed directly at Moscow and its surrounding areas.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed that the refinery attack caused a fire in a "separate technical room" at the plant. Thankfully, the blaze was quickly contained, and no major damage was reported. The incident did, however, temporarily disrupt operations at several major airports in Moscow, though flight restrictions were lifted by Sunday morning.
The Bigger Picture
This wave of drone attacks is part of a broader escalation in the conflict, which has been raging for over two and a half years. Russia has intensified its offensive in eastern Ukraine while also grappling with surprise incursions by Ukrainian forces along its western border. Last week, Russia launched its heaviest air strikes of the war, targeting energy facilities across Ukraine.
