Video: A successful attack was carried out on the Kstovo Oil Refinery in Russia
On the night of August 25–26, drones attacked the “LUKOIL-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez” oil refinery in the city of Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russian Federation, after which a fire broke out on the refinery’s premises. Local residents reported a series of explosions, and the consequences of the attack are currently being assessed.
According to local residents, a series of explosions rang out at the facility, after which a massive fire broke out and a column of thick smoke rose above the plant.
“Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez” is one of the largest oil refineries in Russia, with a designed refining capacity of approximately 17 million metric tons of crude oil per year. The facility plays a critical role in supplying fuel and lubricants to the Russian economy and units of the occupying forces, specializing in the production of diesel and jet fuel, as well as automotive gasoline.
Striking the facilities of this complex creates an additional shortage and places a significant strain on the enemy’s logistics and fuel supply system. The attack is currently ongoing; the detailed consequences and extent of damage to the production equipment are being assessed.
