Russia: Explosions/remote violence in Moscow

After the Ukrainian attack in the Nizhny Novgorod region, a limit was introduced on gasoline sales. Filling up is limited to no more than 40 liters. The authorities of the Nizhny Novgorod region introduced a limit on gasoline sales at gas stations: drivers will not be able to fill more than 40 liters of fuel into their tanks at one time. The regional government reports that this decision was made "to ensure the stable operation of gas stations". At the same time, the regional authorities noted that these restrictions do not cover diesel fuel. The authorities do not disclose the specific reasons for introducing restrictions, but the decision was made immediately after a mass strike by Ukrainian drones. As a result of the shelling, the governor reported that significant damage was inflicted on an "industrial enterprise" in Kstovo; according to Russian and Ukrainian Telegram channels, the company is the Kstovo oil refinery. Several Telegram channels also posted footage showing queues at gas stations in the region. Authorities also decided to ban the sale of gasoline in cans and the removal of fuel from storage outside of the Nizhny Novgorod region. In addition, vehicles from other Russian subjects will not be able to refuel at gas stations located near the region's borders. The government promised to strengthen control over compliance with the restrictions introduced in the summer: on even dates, only cars with license plates starting with an even number can refuel, and on odd dates with an odd number.
