Moscow Oil Refinery Hit in Drone Attack, Fire Breaks Out at Facility
The Moscow Oil Refinery was hit during a large-scale drone attack on the Russian capital, with a fire breaking out at the facility and thick smoke rising over the area.
Moscow came under a large-scale drone attack on September 20, with the Moscow Oil Refinery in the southeastern Kapotnya district among the sites hit.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said some drones managed to reach the refinery site, causing damage to the facility.
Fire breaks out at Moscow Oil Refinery
A fire broke out at the refinery following the attack, with images from the area showing thick smoke rising above the facility.
The full extent of the damage remains unclear, and there has been no confirmation that operations at the refinery have completely stopped.
One of Moscow's key oil refineries
The Moscow Oil Refinery is an important fuel-producing facility serving the Russian capital and surrounding region.
According to data reported by Reuters, the refinery processed around 11.6 million metric tons of crude oil in 2024. It produced approximately 2.9 million tons of gasoline and 3.2 million tons of diesel that year.
Large-scale drone attack targets Moscow
The strike on the refinery came as Moscow and the surrounding region faced a major wave of drone attacks.
Russian authorities said more than 1,600 drones had been intercepted since Saturday, including around 450 that were heading toward Moscow.
Two people were killed in the Moscow region, while residential buildings and vehicles were also reported damaged.
Ukraine has repeatedly targeted oil refineries and other energy infrastructure inside Russia with long-range drones.
