Russian oil refinery in Kstovo ablaze after reported overnight drone strike

A drone attack reportedly targeted the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez refinery in Kstovo, Russia, on November 1. Ukrainian monitoring channels reported the incident, which resulted in a fire at the facility. The refinery is significant as Russia's fourth-largest oil processing plant and a key supplier of fuel for military operations. This attack follows previous strikes on the same facility, including one in August that led to operational suspensions. Ukraine has been actively targeting Russian energy infrastructure to disrupt the war effort.
