Ukrainian defense technology company Fire Point published video footage capturing drone strikes targeting Moscow Oblast overnight on Aug. 18.
The company noted that things were "hot again" across Moscow Oblast.
"Explosions were reported in the vicinity of the Moscow Oil Refinery, while in Obukhovo, potential strikes hit warehouse infrastructure," the company stated in a commentary accompanying the video, which captured a drone flying overhead.
The full scale of the damage is being clarified, the company emphasized.
Russian authorities claimed a massive drone attack targeted Moscow and Moscow Oblast overnight into Aug. 18. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed that between the previous evening and 5:00 a.m. on Aug. 18, 620 UAVs flew toward Moscow Oblast, alleging that 180 were destroyed within the area.
Moscow Oblast governor Andrey Vorobyov confirmed that a drone struck a Wildberries warehouse in the region, igniting a blaze. According to him, "the most severe consequences were recorded in the Pavlovo-Posadsky district."
Drones attacked Moscow and the surrounding oblast overnight into Aug. 16. Russian Telegram channels reported explosions and active air defense fire in Domodedovo, Chekhov, Stupino district, and Podolsk.
Reports also indicated that a massive fire broke out at a Wildberries logistics complex spanning over 200,000 square meters following the earlier strikes.
Fire Point confirmed that Ukrainian FP-1 strike UAVs successfully hit the Wildberries logistics hub in the village of Koledino, Moscow Oblast.
