A Ukrainian drone attack damaged the Moscow oil refinery and a nearby residential building, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Thursday. Video published on social media shows the aftermath of the strike on the apartment building.⁣
⁣
Reuters confirmed the location from the building layout, facade and terrain which matched archive and satellite imagery of the area.⁣
⁣
Moscow downed over five dozen drones on Thursday, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on Telegram, and a Reuters witness saw flames and plumes of smoke over the southeastern district of Kapotnya where the Moscow refinery is located.⁣
⁣
"Air defence forces continue to repel a massive attack. Several drones managed to reach the Moscow oil refinery," Sobyanin said, adding that a shopping centre also suffered minor damage.⁣
⁣
The attack is the second in just a few days after a drone strike on Tuesday halted operations at the refinery, sources said, adding to widespread damage to Russian energy facilities and extending a fuel crisis deeper into the country.⁣
