A Ukrainian drone struck a building under construction in the town of Kotelniki near Moscow, according to eyewitness footage posted on social media on Tuesday.
The attack came as Russian authorities said air defences shot down 60 drones heading towards the capital. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin also confirmed damage to a facility at the Moscow oil refinery, one of Russia’s largest, located a few kilometres from the blast site seen in the video.
Officials said there were no casualties and emergency crews were working at the scene. The refinery, owned by Gazprom Neft, is a key fuel supplier for the Moscow region.
Ukraine has increasingly targeted Russian energy infrastructure, with attacks on refineries reportedly doubling since the start of 2026, causing disruptions to fuel production across several regions.
