Drones halt Volgograd refinery, sparking fuel queues in Russia

Drones attacked the Volgograd oil refinery, one of Russia's largest, causing a fire and forcing its suspension, leading to fuel queues at local gas stations. The refinery, owned by Lukoil, processes about 5% of Russia's oil and produces significant shares of its diesel and gasoline. Governor Andrei Bocharov confirmed the drone attack and local fires, reporting no casualties or damage to residential buildings. This is the refinery's eleventh attack since the full-scale war began. Local residents reported long lines at gas stations during the attack, with the refinery's work forcibly suspended.
