Smoke rises after drone strikes hit oil refinery in Moscow

Plumes of smoke rose above a Moscow oil refinery on Sunday (September 20), social media video showed, after a drone strike hit the Russian capital.

Reuters verified the location from road layout, buildings and utility poles that matched archive and satellite imagery. Coordinates of the refinery: 55.65466777224526, 37.80603531308355.

The date of the video was verified from official reports of strikes on the oil refinery and Reuters reporting in the area. No older versions of the video were found online before September 20.

The largest Ukrainian drone attack reported so far on the Moscow region killed three people and damaged part of an oil refinery in the capital, authorities said on Sunday, as Russia votes in the final day of parliamentary elections.

Ukraine and Russia have continued attacks on each other's energy infrastructure despite an announcement by US President Donald Trump on Monday that they had agreed to stop.
