Ukrainian drones hit an oil refinery in Moscow on June 18 for the second time this week.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed that the refinery had been hit, along with the nearby Sadovod shopping mall.
“Air defense forces continue to repel a massive attack,” Sobyanin said. “Several drones managed to reach the Moscow oil refinery.”
Flames and plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the refinery, near the suburb of Kapotnya.
State-run news agency TASS said the Russian defense ministry reported that 555 drones were shot down throughout the country overnight, 180 of which were in the skies over Moscow.
