Volgograd OIL Refinery Operates Normal After Fire

REFINING

The fire at a pipeline of Lukoil’s Volgograd oil refinery has been extinguished following a drone attack, and the facility is operating normally, BP’s spokesperson said, cited by Tass.

  • The Volgograd Region Governor Andrey Bocharov earlier said that on Saturday morning, air defenses repelled a drone attack on the Volgograd Region, but the fall of the downed drone caused a fire at the oil refinery.
  • The refinery was the latest in a series of facilities targeted by drones from the Ukraine.
  • Earlier last week, a drone hit Russia’s Nevsky Mazut oil refinery near St Petersburg, while Ukraine also launched a drone attack on the Slavneft Yanos refinery.
