Drones of the Security Service of Ukraine attacked an oil refinery in the Russian city of Volgograd. Subsequently, a fire broke out at the site, according to own sources of RBC-Ukraine.
Today's fire at one of Russia's largest oil refineries, located in Volgograd, was the result of a successful attack by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU).
According to sources, two drones targeted the primary oil processing unit, crucial for the plant's significant production capacity.
"The SSU continues systematically destroying the infrastructure that Russia uses for its war in Ukraine. By targeting oil refineries tied to the Russian military-industrial complex, we not only disrupt the fuel supply logistics for enemy vehicles but also diminish contributions to the Russian budget," reports the source.
