Several residential buildings were reportedly hit and all of the Russian capital’s airports shut down as a result of the attack.

Ukrainian drones struck several targets around Moscow on Wednesday night, setting an oil refinery on fire and forcing the Russian capital’s airports to suspend flights.

Both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed the attacks. Photos and videos circulating on social media and news agencies showed the refinery on fire, with thick black smoke rising above the site.

“Last night, our long-range sanctions once again reached the Moscow region — for the second time this week, the Moscow oil refinery was hit,” Zelenskyy wrote on X on Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, a shipping data company reported that Iran had created a government agency to vet and tax vessels seeking passage through the crucial Strait of Hormuz.

The shaky ceasefire in the Iran war was further strained on Friday as the United Arab Emirates responded to a missile and drone attack hours after the US said it thwarted attacks on three Navy ships in the Strait of Hormuz and retaliated against Iranian military facilities.

“UAE air defences are currently engaging missile and drone attacks originating from Iran,” the defence ministry said in a post on X, adding that interception sounds were heard “across various parts of the country.”

Russia and Ukraine trade blame over Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant drone strike

Watchdog condemns ‘reckless’ attack after inspectors find damage at Russian-controlled power station

Russia and Ukraine have each accused the other of launching kamikaze drones at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in an incident condemned by the International Atomic Energy Agency for recklessly endangering safety.

The nuclear watchdog said onsite inspectors had seen the damage caused by drone detonations at three locations, including “superficial scorching” at the top of the roof of reactor 6, although it said its structural integrity was not compromised.

It is the first time the nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, has been targeted in military action since November 2022. Captured by Russia early in the war, the plant sits directly on the frontline, within range of both sides’ militaries.

Rafael Grossi, the director general of the IAEA, described the episode as a major escalation and called for it not be repeated. “Such reckless attacks significantly increase the risk of a major nuclear accident and must cease immediately,” he said.
