The oil refinery in Moscow’s Kapotnya district has once again come under a drone attack, according to Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin, as reported by “Politika Strany”.

Sobyanin said that Russian air defence systems had shot down more than 50 drones approaching Moscow since the morning. However, he noted that several of them managed to reach the refinery.

The facility had previously been targeted in a drone strike on June 16, according to earlier reports.
