Ukraine has reportedly carried out its largest drone attack to date on Moscow, with claims that a major oil refinery was hit and put out of operation. The reports are circulating widely among audiences following the Ukraine war, where daily frontline updates are drawing large attention. Details about casualties, damage assessments, and the refinery's identity have not been independently confirmed.

Ukraine's Defense Forces reportedly struck the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai, with additional hits reported on the Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant. In parallel developments, Japan allocated a further $51.5 million to Ukraine, while a bipartisan group of 14 U.S. senators urged President Trump to take a harder line against Putin. Commenters are highlighting the combination of deep strikes inside Russia and continued Western financial and political support for Kyiv.

Oil industry interests are asking the US Supreme Court to take up a case, a move being described as an audacious attempt to shield fossil fuel companies from climate-related lawsuits. The request comes as cities and states pursue litigation seeking damages for climate harms, and the industry is seeking a ruling that could curtail those claims. Climate advocates warn the outcome could shape the future of climate accountability cases.
