## Caption

Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in southeast Moscow, triggering a massive explosion that launched the roof of a fuel storage tank hundreds of feet into the air.

The refinery is located roughly 10 miles (16 km) from the Kremlin and was hit for the second time in three days. The attack is part of Ukraine’s ongoing campaign targeting Russia’s oil and fuel infrastructure, which helps fund Moscow’s war effort.

The footage shows the moment a storage tank catastrophically failed, sending its disc-shaped roof skyward while a large fire burned at the facility. The strike also contributed to major disruptions across Moscow, including temporary airport closures, flight suspensions, and traffic restrictions near the refinery.

Ukraine has increasingly targeted oil depots, refineries, and fuel storage facilities deep inside Russia, aiming to reduce fuel production, strain logistics, and force additional air defense resources away from the front lines.

Reuters reported that gasoline shortages have emerged in parts of Russia in recent weeks, while fuel prices have risen in some regions as attacks on energy infrastructure continue.
