The Moscow Oil Refinery has suspended oil processing indefinitely after being hit by Ukrainian strike drones. This was reported in a statement by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to UNN.
"A strike on June 18, 2026, against a complex oil processing unit, three RVS-10000 tanks, and one RVS-30000 tank at the Moscow Oil Refinery has been confirmed. The enterprise has suspended oil processing indefinitely," the General Staff statement reads.

The capacity of this oil processing enterprise was over 12 million tons of oil per year, and it was involved in supplying the Russian army.
Recall
Russia was attacked by drones on the night of June 18. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the strikes on the Moscow Oil Refinery and in the Rostov region. The strikes were carried out, in particular, by FP-1 strike drones manufactured by the Ukrainian company Fire Point. The Russian "Pantsir" air defense system proved incapable of effectively countering the drones.
This is the second strike on the Moscow Oil Refinery.
Previously, on June 16, attacks by UAVs on oil facilities were recorded in the Moscow region and the Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation. Footage was also posted online showing an FP-1 strike drone maneuvering in the sky over Moscow, created by the company Fire Point for deep strikes on enemy territory. Analysts note that the targeted refinery is located approximately 15 kilometers from the Kremlin.
