Eyewitness video captured the explosion at a fuel depot with the massive storage lid flying into the air like a popped cork.
A drone also hit this residential building nearby.
The barrage turned the skies over Russia's capital city into a ceiling of smoke.
Speaking in Brussels, Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said the strikes were in response to Russia's attack on a historic monastery complex earlier this week.
Russia's Defense Ministry said Thursday's Ukrainian assault was the largest since the war began more than four years ago, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov vowed that strikes on Ukrainian targets will continue.
