    > Ukraine struck a Russian oil refinery and disrupted commercial flights across Moscow overnight Thursday in one of its biggest attacks in more than four years of war.

    > Fire and dark smoke plumes erupted into the air as Ukrainian drones made it past Russian defense systems, in a second wave of attacks on the refinery in the last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

    > “Last night, our long-range sanctions once again reached the Moscow region – for the second time this week, the Moscow oil refinery was hit,” Zelensky wrote on X. “Targets were also struck in the Rostov region and in temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.”

    The video on the article gives an idea of the scale and includes (at about 15 seconds in) an amazing explosion of a fuel store, apparently caused, like many of the Russian civilian casualties, by a Russian air-defense missile from they much vaunted “anti-stealth” S-400 air defense systems (actual weapon not verified from a military forum but I’ve seen the smoke track from it which matches).
