- Ukraine launched a major drone swarm toward Moscow that struck an oil refinery, with Zelenskyy pledging to "bring war back to Russia" in response.
- Russia claimed to have shot down more than 80 drones during the Moscow barrage, while Russian attacks killed six people in Ukraine on the same day.
Why it matters: The drone strike on a Moscow oil refinery marks a direct hit on Russian energy infrastructure as part of Ukraine's escalating long-range campaign, while Russia's continued lethal strikes on Ukrainian civilians — killing at least six in a single day — show the two-sided drone war is intensifying rather than de-escalating.
