Global D-Report: Drone Strikes Trigger 'Chain Explosions' at Oil Refinery... "Moscow Will Burn" in Largest-Scale Attack

Huge flames and black smoke billow over a large oil refinery building.

The force of the explosion sends the massive lid of a crude oil storage tank flying into the air.

[Oh my, the warehouse was hit too.]

Amid the loud buzzing of drones, explosions continue across the city.

Citizens are gripped by fear, and the city is instantly blanketed in smoke.

On June 18 (local time), Ukraine launched a massive air raid using at least 550 drones across Russia.

Russian authorities stated that they shot down over 180 drones in the Moscow region alone, but dozens of others penetrated the air defense network and struck Moscow.

The area around the oil refinery in southeastern Moscow, where the chain explosions occurred, turned into a sea of fire.

The facility is located just 16 kilometers from the Kremlin; although they had installed netting over key infrastructure to block drone attacks, it proved ineffective.

This raid is considered one of the largest-scale attacks launched against Moscow so far this year.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / President of Ukraine: Even if Moscow builds a triple-layered air defense, we will reach it. If Ukraine burns, your Moscow will burn as well.]

Ukraine, which has been at war for over four years since the Russian invasion, has recently been focusing its strikes on energy facilities within Russian territory using long-range drone capabilities.

As the chain attacks on oil refineries and storage facilities continue, Russia's fuel supply is facing an emergency.

Reuters reported that Russia, the world's third-largest oil producer, is preparing to import fuel by sea this month to brace for potential fuel shortages.
