Russia’s Defense Ministry announced on Sunday that the country’s military destroyed 158 Ukrainian drones that targeted facilities in several regions.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that falling debris caused a fire at an oil refinery.
Ukraine has continued drone attacks on infrastructure in Russia to impair Moscow’s offensive capabilities. But it has yet to obtain permission to fire long-range weapons provided by the United States and Europe into Russian territory.
Ukraine is pressing Western nations to allow long-range strikes on military facilities in Russia.
Ukraine’s Defense Minister Rustem Umerov met US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in Washington on Friday.
Umerov later told CNN that he presented the US with a list of targets for long-range missiles inside Russia. He said they are “legitimate military targets,” such as logistic hubs and airfields.
