The Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery in Russia’s Rostov region came under attack in the early hours of Monday, March 10.
This was reported on Telegram by the chief of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, Ukrinform saw.
The refinery boasts a 8.8 million tonne annual capacity, making it one of the 10 largest such facilities in Russia.
The facility produces a wide range of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, and fuel oil, all critically important for transport and military equipment, Kovalenko noted.
The official says the facility is of strategic importance for the Russian army, as it ensures stable supplies of fuel for the ongoing war effort targeting Ukraine.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, in the early hours of Saturday, March 8, drones operated by Ukraine’s defense intelligence attacked the Kirishnefteorgsintez enterprise in Russia’s Leningrad region.
