Media: Ukrainian defense intelligence is said to have attacked an oil refinery in Russia’s Volgograd Oblast overnight

Theo

Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency (GUR) drones attacked the Volgograd oil refinery in Russia on the night of May 11, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing its own sources.

The attack happened around 4 a.m. The sources said the plant’s primary oil processing units, AVT-1 and AVT-6, were damaged. Intelligence is still assessing their current condition.

The drone strike also reportedly damaged a control cable for the air coolers, causing seven of them to shut down as well as the P-1 furnace’s chimney.

According to reports, the refinery belongs to the Lukoil concern. Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka is a fuel and oil company in Volgograd that began operations on December 21, 1957 and produced the first gasoline. It has been part of Lukoil since the early 1990s.

In 2015, the refinery processed 12.6 million tons of oil, with a capacity of 15.7 million tons per year.
