Ukrainian drones strike Kapotnya oil refinery in Moscow
On June 16 Ukrainian drones struck the Kapotnya oil refinery in Moscow's southeast, igniting fires while Russian air defenses engaged and Mayor Sergey Sobyanin reported no casualties. The attack set the ELOU AVT-6 primary processing unit ablaze and sent heavy smoke over the Kapotnya district. Kapotnya processes about 12 million tonnes of petroleum products per year and supplies roughly 35 to 40 percent of fuel for Moscow and the surrounding region. Coming after earlier May attacks on the same facility, the strike threatens Moscow's fuel availability and shows Ukraine can reach strategic energy infrastructure deep inside Russia.
Arrivals and departures in 2 Moscow airports are limited because of drones detected it’s 5:11 am in Kyiv and I haven’t slept at all because of Russian missiles and drones, so yeah, I am not very sad
Dead Russians don't invade other countries. I really want Russia to become unable to invade anywhere ever again.
Colleen2Devastating news about the Ukraine heritage sites bombed. Always wrecked by the people lost. Its horrible. Afghanistan forced Russia back. Ukraine will too.
Fighter Fran2My friend Marat in Kyiv said it was a horrendous night, the Lavra attacked,on fire; all the neighborhoods exploding, Oreshniks, ballistic missiles, over 600 drones. For what? Stand w/UKR. Pray terrorist Putin's taken down.
Ukrainian drones struck the Moscow oil refinery early June 16, triggering a major fire and heavy smoke. The facility processes about 12.8 million tonnes of oil per year and supplies roughly 35-40% of fuel consumed in Moscow and the surrounding region. #Russia
Dr. Strangefella or how I stopped worrying about Russian nukes15I don’t think those fuel lines are going to get shorter any time soon.
Raul Toblerone8Great reminder for me to donate to Ukraine through the U24 app.
Refineries are huge but luckily you cripple them if you hit the few crucial points that actually keep it going.
Derussification !5And that's only the beginning!
Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?4So they are using refineries to intercept drones, now?
jaculis.bsky.social4For a massive industrial fire of this height (~30 to 40 meters), the distance where the radiant heat becomes completely unapproachable 1. specialized protective gear — high-intensity zone: 30 to 50 meters from base of fire column 2. standard clothing: 70 to 100 meters, depending on wind direction.
Matteo, pare4bring back chariots in Moscow just like in the good old days
apjukvet.bsky.social2Hopefully it will not be long before we see traffic queues at Moscow fuel stations 🇺🇦🇬🇧
🔥 While Kyiv was under a massive attack, fires were reported in Tula and the Moscow region At night in Tula, Russia, witnesses reported a major fire. The governor complained that drones had targeted commercial facilities.
Inside Ukraine 🇺🇦8A column of smoke was also spotted in the city of Reutov in the Moscow region. The causes were not officially specified, but witnesses enthusiastically talked about drones and explosions.
Paula (Fella) 🇺🇦💙💛4He should count his lucky stars the Ukrainian military does not treat invaders as the orcs treat the invaded.
