Moscow awoke to scenes of disruption and anxiety after one of the largest Ukrainian drone attacks since the war began targeted key infrastructure near the Russian capital. A strike on the Kapotnya oil refinery sent thick black smoke across the skyline, while residents in nearby districts reported a light drizzle leaving dark, oily specks on clothing and surfaces. Authorities denied reports of “oil rain,” but health warnings were issued for vulnerable residents. The attack, which injured several people and disrupted air travel, highlights the growing reach of Ukraine’s long-range drone operations as both sides continue escalating strikes far from the front lines.
