Moscow Oil Refinery takes an unscheduled break after drone visit

Original version ·

It turns out that flying lawnmowers are surprisingly good at disrupting the fuel supply of a massive capital city. Who could have guessed?

So, the Moscow Oil Refinery has officially paused its operations. Why? Because some Ukrainian drones decided to pay it a little weekend visit on June 16, and the refinery apparently couldn't handle the excitement.

Now, this isn't just some random provincial fuel depot. This facility is responsible for keeping Moscow's endless traffic jams moving and its airports running. But after the attack, the entire plant is now offline, proving once again that Russian air defense is mostly decorative.

Fuel prices in the Russian capital are about to get very, very interesting.
