Russia says it destroyed 158 drones launched by Ukraine and confirmed fires at the Moscow Oil Refinery
Russia says it destroyed 158 drones launched by Ukraine and confirmed fires at Moscow oil refineryKyiv launched one of the biggest drone attacks on Russia since the full-scale war began, targeting power plants and an oil refinery on Saturday night, while Moscow’s forces made further advances towards a key town in eastern Ukraine, officials said on Sunday.
Russia last week pounded Ukraine with its heaviest air strikes of the war, hitting energy facilities, part of a campaign of drone and missile barrages that have killed thousands of civilians and troops since the conflict began in February 2022.
Earlier Russian officials said air defence units had destroyed 158 drones launched by Ukraine overnight, and that debris caused fires at a Moscow oil refinery and at the Konakovo power station in the neighbouring Tver region. Russia’s existing nuclear doctrine, set out in a decree by Mr Putin in 2020, says it may use nuclear weapons in the event of a nuclear attack by an enemy or a conventional attack that threatens the existence of the state.
