Ukraine strikes Russia's largest refinery
According to the Polish Press Agency, Ukrainian drones executed an attack on oil targets in Russia overnight from Friday to Saturday, damaging the Kinef refinery in the Leningrad region. This is one of the key oil enterprises in the country. This information was provided by the Ukrainian agency UNIAN.
Russian media reports that the air defence system was activated, but debris from the drones damaged part of the refinery. Due to the attack, operations at the Saint Petersburg-Pulkovo International Airport were also suspended for about an hour. Residents of the region reported on social media that there were several explosions in the morning.
The Kirishi refinery, part of Surgutneftegaz, is the largest in Russia in terms of fuel production. It specialises in deep oil refining and the production of petrol, diesel, and heating oil. Kinef plays a strategic role in the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation, supplying a significant portion of the country's fuel market. This information was emphasised by the Ukrainian agency UNIAN.
