Third attack in three days.
Novokuybyshevsk, baker, now Kastovo. Three days after the WSJ reported on the supposed "pause" by the Ukrainian armed forces in attacks on oil refineries, a third oil refinery was already under attack.
On the night and morning of November 1, UAVs attacked the Nizhny Novgorod region. According to Governor Gleb Nikitin, more than a hundred drones were destroyed in the area, and an industrial plant in Kastovsky district suffered "significant damage". There were no casualties.
Eyewitnesses and monitoring channels report a fire at the LUKOIL-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez refinery. Residents talk about explosions and black smoke over the city.
The Kastovo refinery is one of the largest in Russia. The factory was attacked more than once: after the attack on August 26, it stopped its activity.
Another blow to Russian oil refining confirms that no break was planned - the Ukrainian armed forces simply mobilized as drones. Within three days they hit refineries in the Samara region, Bashkiria and the Nizhny Novgorod region, and such attacks are still impossible without American intelligence.
For Trump, this could be a problem he created for himself when he linked attacks on refineries to US gas prices. "Maybe" if the media starts asking him uncomfortable questions about it. But now it is quite easy to ignore the issue.
A few days before the elections, the Americans have no time for Ukrainian drones: races in the states and the local agenda are in the foreground. Therefore, the issue of oil refineries is now carefully avoided in Washington.
