Russia's Own Missile Ignited Moscow Refinery Explosion

During Ukraine's June 18 drone strike on Moscow's largest oil refinery, a Russian surface-to-air missile missed its target and struck a fuel storage tank, detonating it. Video footage released June 20 shows the missile's trajectory toward the tank before explosion. The incident exemplifies a persistent hazard when air defense systems operate in dense industrial zones—interceptors can cause collateral damage equal to or exceeding the threat they defend against.
