Drone attack on Volgograd kills four, hits Lukoil refinery

A mass drone attack on Volgograd overnight killed four workers in the city's southern industrial zone and injured two others, who were hospitalized. A major fire broke out at the Lukoil oil refinery. The regional governor reported local fires at an enterprise caused by falling drone debris, and damage to residential buildings in Svetly Yar. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its air defense shot down 1,198 Ukrainian drones across multiple regions overnight. The Volgograd refinery, which processes about 5% of Russia's oil, has reportedly suspended operations. Local media say this was at least the 13th attack on the plant since the full-scale war began.
