On June 18, a major drone strike from Ukraine targeted Moscow, reportedly impacting the Moscow Oil Refinery for the second time within a span of three days and igniting several fires. Russian authorities mentioned that air defense systems managed to intercept 52 drones aimed at the city, although some did manage to reach the refinery. This facility accounts for nearly 40% of the fuel supply in Moscow and processes over 12 million tons of crude oil each year. Further attacks were noted in the Rostov region of Russia, where local officials reported one fatality and two injuries. These incidents highlight Ukraine's growing long-range strike capabilities and the ongoing strain on Russia's energy infrastructure.
