A fire continues to rage at the Moscow oil refinery after Ukrainian drones struck the facility this morning, according to Abu Ali Express. The refinery, located about 15 km from the Kremlin, processes roughly 11.6 million tons of petroleum products annually and supplies an estimated 40% of Moscow and the Moscow region's fuel consumption.
A Ukrainian drone attack struck the Moscow oil refinery on Tuesday morning, igniting a fire that continued to burn at the facility, according to Abu Ali Express.
The refinery sits about 15 km from the Kremlin and processes roughly 11.6 million tons of petroleum products annually, supplying an estimated 40% of fuel consumption for Moscow and Moscow Oblast, per the same report. No details on casualties or the specific type of drone used have been released.
This is the second event in a same-day thread: earlier at 10:20 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a Ukrainian strike on the same refinery with few details. The current report adds the scale of the fire and the facility's strategic role. Broader context includes repeated Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, including refineries and fuel depots in Krasnodar Krai, Yaroslavl, Tatarstan, and Crimea over the past week, as The Zioneer has covered.
