Ukraine’s Defense Forces launched a new attack on the Russian capital on the evening of November 15, with dozens of attack drones heading toward Moscow now, according to Mayor Sergey Sobyanin.

At around 7:10 p.m., Sobyanin said Russian air defenses had allegedly neutralized four Ukrainian drones heading toward Moscow.

“Emergency response teams are working at the sites where debris fell,” he added.

Twenty minutes later, the mayor of the Russian capital said another 10 drones had been intercepted.

“Air defenses of the Russian Defense Ministry shot down 11 drones heading toward Moscow. Emergency response teams are working at the sites where debris fell,” Sobyanin wrote at 7:46 p.m.

However, the attack on the Russian capital did not end there. At 8:10 p.m., several dozen more drones were heading toward Moscow. Russian authorities claimed that 16 of them had been shot down.

“Another 19 UAVs heading toward Moscow have been intercepted. Emergency response teams are working at the site where debris fell,” Sobyanin said at 8:15 p.m.

He has not yet disclosed the consequences of the attack on the Russian capital.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said that during the day, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Moscow time, air defense units on duty intercepted and destroyed 230 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones.

The drones were allegedly shot down over the Belgorod, Bryansk, and Kursk regions, the Republic of Crimea, and the Black Sea.

At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry traditionally did not specify how many drones the Ukrainian Armed Forces used to attack different regions of Russia.

Earlier, RBC-Ukraine reported that Ukraine’s Defense Forces had disrupted operations at nine of Russia’s largest oil refineries in just one week.

The media also reported that Ukraine’s Defense Forces had attacked more than a third of Russia’s total oil refining capacity over two weeks.
