Russian air-defense missile reportedly hits Moscow’s Kapotnya refinery during Ukrainian drone raid

Ukrainian drones attacked the Kapotnya refinery in Moscow, owned by Gazprom Neft, and a misfired air-defense missile reportedly caused severe damage to its Euro+ processing unit, which accounts for nearly half of the facility’s capacity. The refinery supplies more than a third of the fuel used in Moscow and surrounding areas. The incident sparked a fire, sent thick black smoke into the air, and damaged pipelines and storage tanks, with effects also reported in a nearby commercial area. Officials said gas stations continued operating normally, though the plant’s effective processing capacity has been materially weakened.
