Ukraine just retaliated to Russia's cathedral attack with major Moscow hit

Ukraine attacked a major oil refinery near Moscow overnight into Tuesday, sparking a major fire and sending dark smoke trailing into the sky above the Russian capital in the latest example of Ukraine striking vital oil infrastructure far across the border.

The attack comes a day after a massive Russian aerial assault on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, which damaged a famed cathedral and monastery, causing an international outcry.

At least 11 people were killed across Ukraine, officials said, as many of the world's most influential economies prepared to meet to discuss a ceasefire deal for the long-running conflict at the G7 summit in France this week.

Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the Ukrainian operation and said the drones had traveled 500 kilometers (310 miles) to strike the Moscow Oil Refinery in a "just response" to Russian bombardment of Ukraine.
