Moscow Refinery Hit by Drone Attack, Raising Concerns Over Fuel Supply

Russia's refining sector is facing fresh supply uncertainty after a drone attack on the Moscow Oil Refinery on September 20, 2026.

The incident damaged a facility at the refinery, and smoke was observed from the site. The scale of the damage and the duration of any operational disruption remain unclear.

The Moscow Refinery is an important supplier of transportation and aviation fuels to the capital and surrounding region, processing 11.6 million tonnes of crude per year.

A prolonged disruption could tighten Russia's domestic fuel balance, particularly for gasoline and diesel markets.
