Missile War Monitor: Ukraine Hits the Refinery that Fuels Moscow as Russia Cuts Power in Odesa
Authorities said the refinery processes about 11 million metric tons of crude a year and supplies 40% of Moscow's fuel.
- On Sunday, Sept. 20, a large swarm of Ukrainian strike drones hit Moscow and nearby districts, setting a major blaze at the Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya and wrecking a logistics warehouse complex in the Ramensky district.
- The Moscow Oil Refinery, owned by Gazpromneft, supplies roughly 40 percent of the capital's fuel and about 70 percent of gasoline and aviation kerosene used in the wider region, making it strategically vital.
- Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin called the raid the largest drone attack on the capital to date, claiming Russian forces intercepted more than 1,600 drones since Sept. 19, including about 450 near Moscow, though these figures lack independent confirmation.
- Attacks across the province left at least two people dead and six injured, while 400 people were evacuated and more than 100 flights were canceled or delayed at Moscow airports.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky described strikes on such facilities as Ukraine's inalienable right to self-defense, aiming to degrade Moscow's logistical ability to sustain combat operations, the General Staff confirmed.
