The released video depicts a Russian air defense missile traveling toward a fuel silo. An explosion occurs roughly at the same moment as the missile's arrival. This coincidence suggests the blast may have been an accident caused by Russia's own defense systems. The explosion took place at a refinery near Moscow. The cause was initially unknown, but the video now points to a possible mishap. No further details on casualties or damage have been released.
