According to Reuters sources, as a result of the new attack on the Moscow Oil Refinery, the Euro+ integrated oil-processing unit was damaged. It provides 47% of the plant's capacity, and its throughput is about 140,000 barrels per day.

In addition, some secondary units, inter-unit pipelines, and auxiliary equipment were damaged. Oil product storage tanks were also hit, causing a fire, the agency writes.

Reuters writes that the refinery was being repaired after the previous attack, which took place on June 16. At that time, the primary oil-processing unit (AVT-6) was damaged. Its throughput is about 160,000 barrels per day, which corresponds to roughly 53% of the plant's total capacity.

According to the agency's sources, while AVT-6 was under repair, refinery management had planned to use Euro+ and process oil at about half capacity.
