Ukraine sets Moscow refinery ablaze in biggest attack in years

11 Sept 04:05 Key points summarised by AI

Ukraine launched its most significant drone attack on Moscow in years, striking a major oil refinery, igniting fires, and prompting evacuations at the capital's largest airport.
The widespread assault wounded at least 17 people, set a shopping centre and apartment building ablaze, and temporarily shut down Moscow's airports, disrupting hundreds of flights.
Russia vowed "massive" retaliation for the strikes, while Ukrainian President Zelensky declared the attack an "absolutely justified response," urging Russians to pressure Putin over the war's consequences.
Kyiv has intensified drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, terming them "long-range sanctions" to undermine Moscow's war funding, with this being the second strike on the Moscow refinery this week.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
