An oil refinery in Volgograd has halted all crude processing after a Ukrainian drone attack on October 2, Reuters reported, citing sources. Regional Governor Andrey Bocharov confirmed a “massive drone attack on industrial infrastructure” without naming specific targets, while eyewitnesses posted footage of a large fire near the refinery.

The plant, owned by Lukoil, can process about 14 million metric tons of crude a year, roughly 5% of Russia's total refining capacity. It has now been struck at least three times this year, including attacks on May 29 and July 31.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
