युक्रेनको मस्कोमाथि युद्धकालकै सबैभन्दा ठूलो ड्रोन प्रहार, राजधानी धुवाँले ढाकियोUkraine Launches Biggest Drone Strike on Moscow Since War Began, Capital Blanketed in Smoke
रुस–युक्रेन युद्ध नयाँ उचाइमा पुगेको छ। युक्रेनले बिहीबार रुसको राजधानी मस्को र वरपरका क्षेत्रमा करिब २०० ड्रोन खसाल्दै युद्ध सुरु भएयताकै सबैभन्दा ठूलो आक्रमण गरेको दाबी गरिएको छ। आक्रमणपछि मस्कोको आकाश बाक्लो कालो धुवाँले ढाकिएको थियो र विभिन्न स्थानमा आगलागी भएको दृश्य देखियो।
मस्को क्षेत्रका गभर्नर आन्द्रेई भोरोब्योभका अनुसार यस आक्रमणमा कम्तीमा १७ जना घाइते भएका छन्। रुसको रक्षा मन्त्रालयले पछिल्लो २४ घण्टाभित्र देशभर झन्डै एक हजार युक्रेनी ड्रोन र चारवटा क्रुज मिसाइल खसालिएको जनाएको छ। दक्षिणी रोस्तोभ क्षेत्रको तेल भण्डारण केन्द्रमा पनि आक्रमण हुँदा एक जनाको ज्यान गएको बताइएको छ।
मस्कोको दक्षिणपूर्वमा रहेको कपोट्नया तेल प्रशोधन केन्द्र पनि यस आक्रमणको निशानामा पर्यो। एक महिनाभित्रै तेस्रो र यही साताभित्र दोस्रोपटक उक्त रिफाइनरीमाथि प्रहार भएको हो। सामाजिक सञ्जालमा सार्वजनिक भिडियोहरूमा शक्तिशाली विस्फोट र तेल ट्याङ्कीका विशाल ढक्कनहरू हावामा उड्दै गरेको दृश्य देखिएको छ।
युक्रेनी राष्ट्रपति भोलोदिमिर जेलेन्स्कीले यो आक्रमण गत साता किएभमा भएको रुसी हमलाको प्रत्युत्तर भएको बताए। उनले युक्रेनले युद्ध नचाहेको दोहोर्याउँदै रुसले आक्रमण जारी राखे मस्कोले पनि त्यसको मूल्य चुकाउनुपर्ने चेतावनी दिए र कूटनीतिक माध्यमबाट युद्ध अन्त्यतर्फ अघि बढ्न आग्रह गरे।
The Russia-Ukraine war has escalated to a new level. Ukraine launched what is being described as the largest drone attack on the Russian capital since the war began, sending nearly 200 drones toward Moscow and surrounding areas on Thursday. The assault left the city's skyline choked with thick black smoke as fires broke out at multiple locations across the region.
Moscow regional governor Andrei Vorobyov confirmed that at least 17 people were wounded in the attack. Russia's Defense Ministry meanwhile stated that nearly one thousand Ukrainian drones and four cruise missiles had been intercepted and shot down across the country within the past 24 hours alone. In the southern Rostov region, a fuel storage facility was also struck, claiming one life in the process.
The Kapotnya oil refinery in the southeastern part of Moscow bore the brunt of some of the heaviest strikes. It was the third attack on the facility within a single month and the second within the same week — a pattern suggesting Ukraine is deliberately and repeatedly targeting Russia's energy infrastructure. Videos circulating on social media showed powerful explosions at the site, with massive storage tank lids being hurled into the air by the force of the blasts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that the Moscow region had been deliberately targeted, framing the assault as a direct response to a Russian strike on Kyiv the previous week that set fire to an important religious site. While reiterating that Ukraine does not seek war, Zelensky issued a stark warning — if Russia continues its attacks, Moscow will feel the consequences too. He also called on Russia to pursue a diplomatic path toward ending the conflict.
