Cotton at the Moscow Oil Refinery
Also, after the drone attack on the night of September 1, a large-scale fire broke out at the Moscow Oil Refinery. This was reported by Russian media, citing emergency services.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claims that one of the allegedly downed drones damaged a separate building of the Moscow Oil Refinery. But Russian publics write that there were two explosions in the Moscow district of Kapotnya, where the oil refinery is located.
According to residents of Kapotnya and neighboring districts, one explosion was heard at about 07:30, then “about 10 minutes later” the sounds of automatic gunfire and a second explosion were heard.
Russian State District Power Plants Are Burning
Also, the Tver Region, like the Moscow Region, “celebrated” the first day of autumn with a spectacular fire show. As a result of drone attacks on Russian energy facilities, fires started on the territory of the Kashirskaya and Konakovskaya State District Power Plants.
Russian Telegram channels write about this.
Tver Region Governor Igor Rudenyastated that air defense forces shot down a Ukrainian drone over the city of Konakovo, and a total of 5 UAVs were recorded in this area.
Despite the authorities' statements about the air defense system, eyewitnesses write that there were several direct hits on the objects. The area around the Konakovskaya GRES and the roads nearby are blocked by the police.
Let me remind you that one of the largest power plants in central Russia is located in Konakovo. The second fire broke out at the Kashira GRES in the Moscow region. Publics cite statements by local authorities about an attempt to attack Ukrainian drones. According to the authorities, “there are no casualties or damage.” Eyewitnesses publish a video of the fire at the Kashira power plant. Local officials claim that “there was no fire,” but emergency services are working on the scene.
The ferry “got tired” and sank
Moreover, the fuel tanks on the ferry “Conro Trader” in the port of “Kavkaz” took over from the oil depot in the Rostov region. The Internet writes that this was the only large ferry that operated between Kerch and the Russian Federation. And the key word is WAS. Because the enemy ferry “Conro Trader” in the port of “Kavkaz” in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation was hit by a Ukrainian missile.
The destruction of the vessel was officially confirmed by the Navy and they added that the liquidation of the enemy ferry should weaken the potential of the Russian army at the front. This was stated on air by the spokesman of the Navy Dmitry Pletenchuk on “Radio Liberty”. He noted that this ferry is one of the important chains of Russian military logistics for providing occupation forces.
Let's add that the first day of autumn Tver and Moscow regions “celebrated” with a spectacular fire show.
