Ukraine Targets Moscow Oil Facility With Drones as G7 Leaders Meet

Article excerpt

Ukraine struck a Moscow oil refinery with drones as G7 leaders convened in Italy, escalating tit-for-tat strikes that have defined the conflict for months. The attack came a day after Russia bombarded Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with missiles and drones, killing at least 11 people and damaging a holy cathedral. The timing, coinciding with the summit of the world's seven largest democracies, underscores how the war continues to intensify despite international diplomatic efforts. Energy infrastructure has become a primary target for both sides, with each claiming strikes on the other serve military purposes.
