A Ukrainian drone attack damaged a facility at the Moscow oil refinery owned by Russia's Gazprom Neft on Tuesday. There were no casualties.

The plant, the biggest in the Moscow region, processed 11.6 million tonnes of oil, producing 2.9 million tonnes of petrol and 3.2 million tonnes of diesel in 2024, as per available data.

Russia said on Tuesday that it had captured the settlement of Novyi Donbas in Ukraine's Donetsk region.

Ukraine said a Russian drone struck enclosures at the zoo in Kharkiv on Monday, killing rabbits and inflicting stress on other animals.
