Ukrainian drones hit Volgograd oil refinery, causing fire

Ukrainian drones struck the Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka oil refinery in Volgograd, Russia, on November 12, causing a fire at the facility, according to the OSINT project Exilenova+. The refinery, one of Russia's largest, has an annual capacity of about 15 million tons of oil, roughly 5% of national refining capacity. It produces gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel and supplies the Russian military. The plant fully halted processing in October after a previous drone attack and sustained significant damage from strikes on May 29 and July 31. Explosions and fires were also reported in Rostov, with unclear cause.
