Residents reported what they called 'black rain' in Moscow following a massive Ukrainian drone strike on a Russian oil refinery on Thursday, June 18. The attack, described in the broadcast as the largest Ukrainian attack, ignited the facility and released black oil particles into the atmosphere. These particles mixed with rain droplets, resulting in dark showers that have coated vehicles, surfaces, and residential areas in a layer of black soot.

01:28drone
01:29strike that we had seen uh take place and now the consequences are being felt by the residents there
01:38it's dangerous uh in terms of the impact and the effect uh such atmospheric conditions have on the
01:46residents of such areas in such locations and this is the larger environmental cost that a particular
01:55region has to pay when we see a prolonged war taking place oil particles black oil particles mixing with

02:51immediately when a particular attack takes place but on the other end this is the prolonged impact that it
02:58has so while the attacks might be taking place at a particular time however the impact remains in the
03:06atmosphere for months and days to come these are the visuals viewers that we were speaking of you can
03:12see the suit that's been collected onto different surfaces on which the rain water in fact fell

03:38which
03:39was exposed to that rain and the black suit that collected layer of black suit that covered that
03:45particular surface after the rainfall and you can see the dark clouds itself showing how the atmosphere had
