Two people were killed and 20 injured across the wider Moscow region, local governor Andrei Vorobyov said. The strikes also damaged a Moscow oil refinery and a residential building.

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the attack on refinery, as part of Kyiv's efforts to dismantle Russia's energy infrastructure that funds its war campaigns.

"These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine", Zelenskyy wrote on X, adding that a range of missiles and drones including domestically developed Flamingo and Pelican missiles were used to hit the oil and logistics facilities.
