Russian oil refinery in Kstovo ablaze after reported overnight drone strike. A Russian airstrike reportedly destroyed a major oil refinery in Kstovo, located in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, after a drone attack overnight on Nov. 1, according to Ukrainian monitoring channels. The NORSI or Lukoil-Nizhegorodorgsintez refinery, Russia's fourth-largest oil refinery and second-largest gasoline producer, processes around 15-17 million metric tons of crude annually and produces bitumen, diesel, and aviation fuel used to support Russian forces.
Ukraine has reportedly targeted the facility multiple times, including a confirmed strike on Aug. 26 that sparked a large fire. The refinery suspended operations following the attack in August.
