The Moscow Oil Refinery temporarily halted its processing operations following a large-scale May 17 Ukrainian drone attack, Reuters reported on May 19, citing industry sources.
The news comes just days after Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) said that it had conducted the operation jointly with Ukraine's Armed Forces on May 17, targeting military-industrial and fuel infrastructure in Moscow Oblast, including the Moscow Oil Refinery.
Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said 12 people were injured near the Moscow Oil Refinery in the Kapotnya district, in Ukraine's largest attack on the Russian capital in over a year.
Two industry sources told Reuters that while the attack did not cause substantial damage to the facility, Gazpromneft, the refinery's owners, halted production to mitigate risks following the attack.
The Kyiv Independent cannot verify the reports.
