(Bloomberg) — Russia’s Defense Ministry blamed Kyiv for the biggest attack on Moscow since the invasion of Ukraine started. The Kremlin said it downed eight drones aimed at the capital.
Mykhailo Podolyak, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, referred in a tweet to what he called a “protest” by drones, saying they refused to attack Ukrainian civilians and returned to “the authors of Russian ‘air #terror’” in Moscow. Several residential buildings in the city were damaged.
Earlier, Russia carried out another night of attacks on Ukraine’s capital Kyiv, the 17th so far this month. One person was killed and seven were injured, Serhiy Popko, the head of the city’s military administration, said on Telegram.

Russian crude oil flows to international markets are edging lower, but still show no substantive sign of the output cuts that the Kremlin insists the country is making. The output reduction was announced in retaliation for Western sanctions and price caps on Russia’s oil exports designed to punish Moscow for the invasion of Ukraine.
