Ukrainian drones hit Saturday night one of Russia’s largest oil refineries, causing a fire, according to Ukrainian Russian and military authorities. The attack on the Kirishi Refinery in the Leningrad region, northwestern Russia, occurs after weeks of Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, which Kiev claims to feed Moscow’s war effort.
The installation, operated by the Russian oil surgutneftegas, produces about 17.7 million metric tons per year (355,000 barrels per day) of gross oil.
More than three years after Russia’s large -scale invasion of Ukraine, drones emerged as a key weapon for both sides.
Unique opportunity
Legacy Card: Far beyond a service
Several Russian drones crossed the border to Poland on Wednesday, leading the organization of the North Atlantic Treaty (NATO) to send fighters to shake them and reinforce old worries that fighting could spread beyond the borders of Ukraine.
According to Ukraine, explosions and a fire were reported at the Kirishi refinery. The official agency published a photo that seems to show a fire and clouds of smoke against the night sky.
