Ukraine launched a wave of overnight drone attacks on Russia, the majority targeted the city of Moscow. As NPR's Charles Means reports from the Russian capital, it was one of the largest Ukrainian attacks on Moscow since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of its neighbor more than four years ago.
Moscow mayor Sergei Sabyanin said city air defenses destroyed some 180 Ukrainian drones
“on approach to the capital, but acknowledged several managed to strike a key oil refinery.”
The video circulating online showed drones repeatedly striking the facility, causing large explosions, and another drone slamming into an apartment building. Plumes of smoke masked along the Moscow skyline and all four of the city's airports suspended operations. In recent months, Ukraine is up to tax on Russian energy infrastructure and a bid to dent
the Kremlin's war chest. In a statement, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky justified the latest attacks as response to Russian bombing of Ukrainian cities, adding it was time for the Kremlin to end the war.

It will consider the first flu vaccine that uses the same technology as the COVID-19
shots and PR's Romstein explains. The FDA's Pfizer's will examine a flu vaccine made by Bernard that uses mRNA technology. The meeting is noteworthy because of health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s intense criticism of the same technology used to make the COVID shots. In fact, the FDA's done return earlier this year when the agency refused to even consider
the vaccine. The FDA quickly reversed that decision after an uproar in the biotech industry. The top FDA officials at the time have since left the agency. In an FDA review released this week, we're averaging some questions about the vaccine generally gave the mRNA shot positive reviews.
