Massive Air Raid on Russia

Earlier today Ukraine launched drone and missile attacks on Russian infrastructure around the Moscow region. Moscow is the most heavily defended part of Russia with a "layered" defence designed to stop anything incoming. Ukraine has been "shaping" the battlefield for a couple of months by targeting anti aircraft facilities.

Targeted were an oil refinery and an oil transhipment center, electronics factories making crucial parts for drones, an engineering company designing drones, rockets, and cruise missiles.

The refinery was key, and is heavily defended.

Sorry thought I'd done so. Just saw this come up on my google news feed this morning and it's on all major outlets. A google search will bring the same thing up for you from whatever source you like.

On May 17, 2026, Ukraine launched one of its largest drone assaults of the war, targeting several Russian regions, including Moscow. Russian officials reported intercepting over 550 drones, with some reports suggesting over 1,000 drones were shot down or jammed within 24 hours.

Key Details of the Attacks (May 17-18, 2026)

:Casualties: At least four people were killed in Russia, with three deaths reported near Moscow and one in the Belgorod region.

Moscow Targets: Over 120 drones were reported near Moscow, causing damage to residential buildings, a major fire in eastern Moscow, and disrupting operations at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport.

Energy Infrastructure: Ukrainian drones targeted oil refineries and energy infrastructure, aiming to disrupt fuel supplies.

Ukrainian Response: President Volodymyr Zelensky described the strikes as an "entirely justified" response to Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, noting they were meant to bring the war home to Russia.

The attacks come amid intense, renewed fighting, with both sides conducting large-scale aerial assaults on each other's territory.
