Summary
Ukrainian drones struck the Kirishi refinery in Leningrad Oblast, Russia's second-largest, in an overnight raid that set it on fire. The Leningrad governor said one woman died in the attack. The strike is part of renewed Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries since late October, which reports say have disrupted operations at nine of Russia's 35 major refineries, including plants in Ryazan, Yaroslavl and the Volga region, and cut nominal capacity by roughly 30%. Reports differ on how much processing has actually fallen, with estimates of up to 200,000 tons per day. The attacks have worsened domestic fuel shortages while Russia continues exporting diesel abroad.
