Overnight on June 18, Ukrainian forces launched an attack on the Moscow Oil Refinery located in the Kapotnya area, marking it as the most significant drone offensive against Moscow since the onset of Russia's large-scale invasion. Authorities in Moscow reported intercepting 194 drones in the vicinity, while Russia's Defense Ministry asserted that a total of 555 drones were neutralized across the country. Ukraine's military leadership confirmed at least five fires started at the refinery, which plays a crucial role in providing approximately 40% of the fuel supply for Moscow and aviation fuel for key airports. This operation highlights Kyiv's ongoing targeting of Russia's energy assets.
