Ukraine Drones Hit Moscow Oil Plant
Ukraine sends many drones to attack Moscow, Russia's capital. The drones hit a big oil factory in the south of the city. It is the second attack in one week. Black smoke covers the sky. People nearby say a light rain leaves black marks on their clothes. Officials tell families to stay inside and close their windows.
Ukraine wants to take the war deep into Russia. It also wants to stop the money Russia uses for the war. Ukraine's leader calls the attack revenge. Russia says it stopped 555 drones in one night. But no one can check this.
The attack causes big problems in the city. Four airports close for a short time. More than 500 flights stop or are late. At least 16 people get hurt, and two are children. The oil factory makes a lot of fuel. Now some gas stations sell less fuel to people.
