Moscow Refinery Briefly Halts Output After May Drone Strike

The Gazpromneft-owned Moscow Oil Refinery temporarily stopped processing after a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack on May 17, with Reuters citing industry sources; 12 people were injured near the plant, and the halt was described as a risk-mitigation measure, though Kyiv Independent could not independently verify the report. The plant processed about 11.6 million tons of crude in 2024, and the episode fits a broader pattern of strikes on Russian oil infrastructure in recent months.

Troops allege lack of medical support cost lives in Kuwait attack

Survivors describe a lack of on-site medical resources, no rehearsals for mass casualty events, and the need to improvise care, while the Pentagon says steps were taken to protect troops and an investigation is ongoing.

Drone attack triggers fire at UAE’s Barakah plant amid rising regional tensions

A drone strike hit the UAE’s Barakah nuclear plant, causing a perimeter fire but no injuries or radiological release. UAE officials called it an unprovoked terrorist attack, as tensions with Iran and allied groups rise. The IAEA reported the fire affected an electrical generator and one reactor ran on emergency diesel generators, while UAE nuclear regulators said safety remained intact and all units were operating normally. Barakah, online since 2020, provides about a quarter of the UAE’s electricity under a strict 123 agreement.
