Video: Hundreds of drones target Russia in major Ukrainian attack

Ukraine carried out one of its biggest drone attacks since the start of the war, targeting a major oil refinery in Moscow and disrupting air traffic around the Russian capital, according to Russian officials.

Moscow said its air defences intercepted hundreds of drones overnight, with nearly 200 approaching the city. Several drones reportedly struck the Moscow Oil Refinery, while flights at four airports were temporarily suspended.

The attack came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held talks with US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron on continued support for Ukraine.
