Watch: Huge explosion after strike on Russian oil refinery
Ukraine  has hit a Russian oil refinery and targeted Moscow  in an attack involving a wave of at least 121 drones, one of the largest operations of its kind during the  war.
Video footage verified by the BBC shows a fireball rising  above the refinery and pumping station in the Ryazan region, southeast of Moscow, which Ukrainian officials said was a  target.
Russia said it shot down 121 drones  targeting 13 regions, including Ryazan and Moscow, but  did not report any damage.
Elsewhere, Ukrainian authorities said three people were killed and one was injured when a Russian drone hit a residential building in the  Kiev region.
Andriy Kovalenko, head of Ukraine's  center for  combating disinformation, said on Telegram that an oil refinery in Ryazan  was hit, as well as the Kremniy factory in  Bryansk, which Kiev says produces components  for missiles and other  weapons. Bloggers have posted photos and videos on Telegram of fires  burning at the Ryazan  plant, which covers  about 6 square kilometers. Verified footage shows people fleeing the  scene in cars and on foot as a fireball rises into the  sky.

BBC Verify  has used video footage to  pinpoint the location of two fires at the refinery. One video shows a fire near the northern entrance,  the location  of which matches the  alignment of the road, signs and  fences.
Two other videos show a larger fire on the eastern side of the refinery,  about 3 km from the first. The location was identified by  trees, poles, roads, and matching  paths.
The Russian state news agency RIA cited a statement from the Kremniy  plant in  Bryansk as saying that work had been suspended after an attack by six drones. Pavel Malkov, the  region's governor, said emergency services were  at the scene.
The Kremlin acknowledged the attacks but  did not mention  any damage or  casualties.
It said it had destroyed 121 Ukrainian drones, including six  in the Moscow region, 20 in the Ryazan  region and a number over the border region of  Bryansk. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the city's air  defenses had intercepted Ukrainian  drone strikes in four  locations.
He said air  defenses southeast of the  capital, in Kolomna and  Ramenskoye, also  responded to drones, without specifying how many. He said there  were no  casualties.
