The largest refinery was attacked by drones in the Leningrad region of the Russian Federation. This is the eighth plant in a decade.
On the night of November 9, UAVs attacked the Leningrad region. The Kirishi refinery (entering nefteorgsintez) was attacked. After a series of explosions, a large-scale fire broke out in the factory.
The Kinisa oil refinery, owned by Surgutneftegaz, is one of the largest in Russia, producing high-octane gasoline and other fuels. The factory is located in the city of Kirishi, Leningrad Region. The plant has been attacked before. On August 30, 2026, it was forced to completely cease operations due to damage to two primary processing units.
Ukraine resumed attacks on Russian oil refineries on October 30 after a two-week hiatus. As a result, the eighth refinery has already been shut down in a 10-day series of attacks. A new wave of fuel crisis is brewing in Russia - restrictions on gas stations have been reinstated in the Trans-Baikal Territory and Karelia. The thundering optimism of Russian officials disappears along with the fuel at the gas stations.
