one injury in Leninsky district, additional fires and injuries tied to falling0:59debris.0:59About 400 residents, including about 70 children, emptied from a 21-story block on1:04Severnoya Highway, about 20 cars damaged, a warehouse complex near Sofiino burned,1:09an apartment burned in Kodolniki.1:11And a drone hit a residential building near a boulevard inside Moscow City with no1:16fatalities in the city and no fatalities at the refinery itself.1:20No independent audit of dead, injured, or intercepts exists.1:23The most consequential damage is at Kapatya in southeast Moscow.1:27The Gazprom-Neft Moscow oil refinery, a major supplier of gasoline, diesel, and jet1:32fuel for the capital region with capacity around 11 to 12 million tons a year,1:36caught fire in both primary crude units.1:38The AVT-6 unit holds about 53% of capacity and the Euro plus combined unit holds1:43about 47%.1:45Ukrainian military staff identified hits on the AVT-6 primary unit, a combined1:50processing unit, and an isomerization unit, with FP-1 drones among the systems1:54named.1:55Crude processing halted from September 21st, products were not offered on the St.1:59Petersburg Exchange, repairs are expected to take weeks, and offline Russian2:03refining capacity rose from about 10% to about 14%.2:06The numbers describe different slices of the same night, not one count.2:10The Moscow region tally for 03 o'clock to 05 Moscow time was 249 jammed or2:16destroyed across 17 municipalities.2:18The Moscow City approach tally was 450.2:21The cumulative tally since Saturday across all defensive lines was more than 1,600,2:25including those 450.2:27The Defense Ministry overnight tally across Russia, Crimea, and the Black Sea was2:321,110, with a broader 24-hour tally reaching about 1,900 and2:371,951 drones plus 8 Flamingo missiles in some compilations.2:42Launch figures were framed as 1,000 and over 1,000 drones plus long-range rockets2:46and missiles, with systems listed as FP-1, RZ-100, MIT-2000, Palyanitsa, Vendetta,2:52Liuti, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican.2:54The operation was characterized as the largest air assault on the capital of the2:58war.2:59Ukrainian confirmation was limited to oil and logistics hits, framed as pressure on3:04the war economy and oil revenue without claiming civilian deaths.3:07Geography explains the disruption.3:09Homes and warehouses burned around Sofiino and Romensky, Kotolniki and Leninsky,3:14Orokovo-Zuevo to the east, and Kapotnya in the southeast, while a residential3:19building was hit inside the city.3:21Sheremadyevo, Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Djukovsky imposed temporary restrictions3:26lifted Sunday morning, with knock-on delays and cancellations ranging from about 1003:31in early counts to more than 400 across the four airports.3:34Sheremadievo was hit hardest with more than 100 delays each way and dozens of3:39cancellations, plus diversions to Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan, Saint Petersburg and other3:43fields.3:44The assault struck on the third and final day of Russia's September 18-203:47parliamentary vote.3:49The first wartime parliamentary election since the 2022 invasion, tightly managed3:53and cast as a test of war support.3:55United Russia retained dominance on 57.83% of the vote, up from 49.8% in 2021,4:01and a record 355 of 450 state duma seats announced September 21.4:05The European Union dismissed the vote as sham and a veneer of democracy.4:09Reporting conflicts on the anti war party.4:11With one account of Yabloko winning a tiny regional foothold, and another account of4:16the Liberal Antiwar Party barred from the ballot.4:18Polling stayed open from Vladivostok to Podolsk near Moscow.4:22The assault was accused of aiming to disrupt voting and failing.4:25Analysts warned mobilization decisions delayed until after the vote could now4:29advance, and two people including an election official were killed in occupied4:33Kherson.4:34A September 14th announcement of a halt to strikes on energy targets did not hold.4:39Kyiv indicated it was unaware of a concluded deal and Moscow gave no public4:43confirmation with reporting that a reciprocal halt before winter was resisted.4:47Ukrainian forces hit the Rosneft Cizerin refinery in Samara in the early hours of4:52September 15, sparking fire with more than forty drones reported downed, and both4:56sides kept striking energy targets.4:58On September twenty first, Trump pressed Zelensky by phone to halt refinery strikes5:03over diesel concerns framed as diesel, diesel, diesel.5:07On September 22nd in New York, on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General5:12Assembly, Trump and Zelensky met and discussed an energy ceasefire, air defenses5:16including patriots, steps toward ending the war, and sanctions and tariffs on5:20Russian oil buyers, with Trump tying refinery hits to diesel prices and saying5:24Russia had lost control of diesel production.5:27Zelensky said there was no demand for a unilateral Ukrainian halt, that Kyiv would5:31match a halt only if Russia stopped hitting Ukrainian power, heat, water, and5:36related infrastructure, and that Kyiv remained ready for a reciprocal energy5:39ceasefire with Allied enforcement and leverage retained for any partial halt on5:43certain targets.5:44Fresh Russia-Ukraine strikes on energy infrastructure overnight underline the gap5:50between talk of a pause and reality on the ground, with United States envoys5:54described as possible messengers to Moscow.5:56The halted capital refinery needs weeks of repair while diesel and fuel price6:00pressure spreads, wounded including children face treatment and recovery, the6:04intercept record cannot be audited from public data, and the reciprocal proposal6:08remains on the table without agreed verification, asset, blockade, or wider6:12ceasefire terms.مضمون پڑھیںخبر کی زمانی ترتیبHeyDexمختصر ویڈیو ↗
