  "account": "On September 20, a Ukrainian defense company, Fire Point, reported that FP-1 drones targeted the Moscow oil refinery, causing the facility to be entirely shut down. The attack resulted in significant damage to the plant, including all primary processing units and some secondary processing units. The refinery, operated by Gazprom Neft, is one of Russia's largest, with a capacity of approximately 12 million metric tons of oil annually. It produces various petroleum products, including motor gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, fuel oil, and other petroleum products.\n\nUkrainian Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara emphasized the strategic importance of the refinery, stating that strikes on such enemy facilities weaken Russia's ability to continue the war against Ukraine and supply its troops. He also stressed that the population of the aggressor state should feel the consequences of President Vladimir Putin's policies.\n\nEarlier that day, multiple drone strikes hit Moscow and surrounding regions, causing a large fire at the refinery in Kapotnya and damaging a warehouse complex in Moscow Oblast. The TETs-22 combined heat and power plant, which supplies electricity to a significant portion of the region, was also targeted. Russian air defenses reportedly repelled the largest drone attack on the capital, with over 1,600 drones shot down in the region, including 450 on the approach to Moscow.\n\nPresident Volodymyr Zelenskyy mentioned the use of various drones during the attack, including FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican.",
