Ukrainian drones strike Russia's second-largest oil refinery in Leningrad Oblast

ru.euronews.com (Russian) —

Ukrainian forces struck one of Russia's largest oil refineries in Leningrad Oblast, causing a major fire and damaging three processing units. The attack is part of Ukraine's campaign responding to ongoing Russian bombardments of Ukrainian cities. The Kirishinefteorgsintez (KINEF) refinery, Russia's second-largest, was hit by drones. Governor Alexander Drozdenko reported 113 drones were shot down, with debris killing a woman in Vsevolozhsk. The facility, part of Surgutneftegaz, processes about 18 million tons annually, roughly 7% of Russia's refining capacity. Following the strike, Rosneft imposed fuel sale limits at its gas stations in several regions, capping gasoline purchases at 30-50 liters per customer. Meanwhile, Russia launched 317 Shahed drones at Ukraine since November 8, killing at least five people in Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
