Scores of Ukrainian drones have rained down on Moscow, hitting the Russian capital’s oil refinery for the second time in a week.

Russia fired missiles into Kyiv, also for the second time in days, following an attack that damaged Kyiv’s landmark 1000-year-old monastery and drew international condemnation.

The Ukrainian attacks left 17 people injured and damaged civilian infrastructure in the capital, local officials said.

In Moscow on Thursday, Reuters saw flames and plumes of smoke over the densely populated southeastern district of Kapotnya where the refinery supplying the capital is located.

Shocking footage circulating online captured the moment a strike blew the roof off of a storage tanker.

“Air defence forces continue to repel a massive attack. Several drones managed to reach the Moscow oil refinery,” Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said, adding that a shopping centre also suffered minor damage.

Russia’s defence ministry said 555 drones were shot down across the country.

Sobyanin said 180 were shot down around Moscow alone.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has since vowed to carry out “massive co-ordinated strikes on a regular basis” against Ukraine

The attack came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had held “an important co-ordination call” with the presidents of the United States and France and had won key pledges of further support from this week’s G7 summit.

“If Ukraine is going to burn, your Moscow will burn too,” Zelensky said, adding that the attack was part of Ukraine’s effort to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.

“It is time to end the aggression, time to end this war.”

Putin on Thursday was in Kazan, 700km east of Moscow, hosting leaders of the Association of South East Asian Nations as Russia seeks to bolster business and other ties with the regional bloc.

Russia’s state-controlled TV channels only briefly mentioned the attack on Moscow.
