‘Oil rain’ falling as Moscow refinery burns
A Ukrainian drone strike on the Moscow oil refinery has sent what residents described as an “oil rain” falling across the surrounding area. Residents of Zheleznodorozhny, east of Moscow, posted photographs showing a black film left on surfaces after rain mixed with petroleum combustion byproducts. In Lyubertsy, to the southeast, residents also reported a strong smell of burning.
