MOSCOW, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Gazprom Neft-owned Moscow Oil Refinery on Tuesday resumed operations at crude distillation unit-6 (CDU-6), which was suspended following a drone attack on Sept. 1, two industry sources told Reuters on Friday.

Gazprom Neft did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said on the day of the attack that several drones targeted the Moscow refinery and caused a fire at a "separate technical room" at the plant.

Sources said the refinery suspended operations at combined refining unit Euro+, that includes CDU-6.

The Euro+ unit accounts for some 50% of the plant's total prime refining capacity, as its crude distillation unit has a capacity of 6 million metric tons of oil per year.

In 2023, the Moscow plant processed 11.6 million tons of crude oil, producing 2.6 million tons of gasoline, 3.3 million tons of gasoil, 2.3 million tonnes of fuel oil and 0.9 million tons of jet fuel.
