At the time of the initial reports, there was no information available at the company itself regarding the victims.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1274\">Monitoring organisations and local residents have published footage of a major fire in the Kapotni area. The video showed flames and plumes of black smoke. No official reports have yet been released regarding which specific part of the plant was affected or whether the latest attack caused further damage to the plant\u2019s equipment.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"7du9ye\" data-start=\"1423\" data-end=\"1467\">One of the key oil refineries in the Moscow region<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1574\">The Moscow Oil Refinery is owned by Gazprom Neft and is the largest supplier of fuel to the Moscow region.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1794\">According to the latest available production figures, in 2024 the company processed approximately <strong data-start=\"1664\" data-end=\"1687\">11.6 million tonnes of oil<\/strong>, producing 2.9 million tonnes of petrol and 3.2 million tonnes of diesel fuel.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"2105\">Estimates of the plant\u2019s market share vary across different public sources. In particular, its share of Moscow\u2019s fuel supply is estimated at approximately <strong data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"1953\">35\u201340%<\/strong>, whilst some estimates suggest that the Moscow Region is significantly more dependent on its petrol and aviation fuel.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"1wkqo12\" data-start=\"2107\" data-end=\"2147\">The factory had already been seriously damaged in June<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2195\">This is not the first attack on the company in 2026.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2197\" data-end=\"2530\">16 and 18 June <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/viyna\/drony-atakuvaly-moskvu-pozhezhi-na-npz-i-kolaps-v-aeroportakh\/\">Moscow Oil Refinery<\/a> has already come under fire from drones on two occasions. During the first attack, the primary processing plant was damaged; this plant accounted for approximately <strong data-start=\"2360\" data-end=\"2385\">53% plant capacity<\/strong>. Two days later, a strike damaged the Euro+ complex, which accounted for the remainder of the country\u2019s significant refining capacity.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2850\">Reuters, citing industry sources, reported that repairs following the June strikes could take at least half a year. The International Energy Agency also noted this week that the Moscow refinery, having sustained extensive damage, may remain out of operation until early 2027.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2852\" data-end=\"3010\">It is therefore not yet known to what extent the attack on 20 September affected the current production capacity of the plant, which was already in the midst of a lengthy recovery process.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"y0ka3q\" data-start=\"3012\" data-end=\"3053\">Moscow has reported hundreds of drones<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3055\" data-end=\"3132\">The Russian authorities have described the night-time attack as one of the largest in recent times.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3134\" data-end=\"3451\">As of this morning, Sobyanin had reported more than <strong data-start=\"3176\" data-end=\"3204\">150 drones shot down<\/strong>, which were heading for Moscow. In the Moscow Region, Governor Andrei Vorobyov reported that hundreds of UAVs had been intercepted or shot down in 17 districts. These figures are claims made by the Russian side and have not been independently verified.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3453\" data-end=\"3672\">In addition to the oil refinery, a major fire broke out at a warehouse complex in Sofino.
