    Moscow's own refinery is burning: the largest drone attack on the capital reaches the plant that supplies 40 percent of its fuel

    A large Ukrainian drone wave early Sunday ignited a fire at Gazprom Neft's Moscow Oil Refinery in Kapotnya, southeastern Moscow, per Kyiv Post; the geolocation outlet Astra verified an extensive fire at the complex. The plant processes about 11 million tons of crude a year and supplies about 40 percent of the capital's fuel. Warehouses in the Ramensky district were destroyed in the same wave, and Moscow region governor Andrey Vorobyov reported at least two dead and six injured.
