One of the largest refineries in Russia is on fire near St. Petersburg.
During the night, the Leningrad region was attacked by 113 drones, Governor Drozdenko said. The target of the attack was the Kirishsky refinery, where, among other things, a unit for primary processing of oil caught fire.
This is the second most powerful refinery in Russia, capable of processing up to 21 million tons of oil per year. The plant supplies fuel to all of northwestern Russia, including St. Petersburg, and also supplies jet fuel to Pulkovo Airport.
This is not the first time the refinery has been attacked. After the attack on August 30, the plant completely shut down oil processing due to damage to two units. Now, the factory is on fire again.
