Ukraine launches biggest drone attack on Moscow region in two years

Ukraine has carried out its biggest drone attack on the Moscow region in two years, killing two people and setting an oil depot ablaze, while Black Sea cargo ships were also reported hit.

The strike on the Moscow region is the largest in two years by Ukraine's own accounting — a signal that Kyiv's long-range drone campaign retains both reach and punch deep inside Russia.

The oil-depot blaze and the two deaths brought the war visibly closer to the capital's residents, while reported hits on Black Sea cargo ships widen the geographic footprint of the fighting.

Moscow has vowed retaliation; the pattern of this war suggests the answer will come in the form of strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
