Ukrnafta builds blast gabions around Kyiv gas stations after drone raids

Ukrnafta, the state oil company, is installing gabion blast barriers around Kyiv gas stations to contain shrapnel from drone strikes, its board chair announced. The stone-filled barriers are meant to keep fragmentation inside station perimeters rather than spraying it onto nearby roads and sidewalks.

The move follows a string of attacks: four drone strikes on Ukrnafta stations across three regions in a single day in early September, a Sept. 10 strike in Kyiv that injured four civilians, and a Sept. 11 double-tap attack on two Kyiv stations that killed two people and wounded eight more. The company says it halts fueling and evacuates stations during every air raid alert.
