Two Dead in Moscow Region, Drones Hit Oil Refinery in Russian Capital
- On Sunday, September 20, 2026, Ukrainian drone strikes hit a facility at the Moscow Oil Refinery, killing at least two people in the Moscow region, according to regional officials.
- Russian authorities reported intercepting more than 1,600 drones since Saturday, with 450 targeting Moscow during the final day of parliamentary elections. Officials alleged the strikes aimed to disrupt voting but failed to achieve that objective.
- A drone crashed into a 21-storey residential block on Severnoye Shosse, triggering a fire and forcing evacuation of 400 people, including 70 children. Emergency services addressed damage across 17 municipalities.
- Regional Governor Andrei Vorobyov reported casualties and widespread damage to private homes, while Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo airports implemented "temporary restrictions" due to the ongoing drone activity.
- Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's September 14 announcement that Ukraine and Russia agreed to halt attacks on energy targets, the strikes occurred Sunday. This escalation underscores the disconnect between diplomatic efforts and ongoing military operations.
