  "account": "On Sunday, Russia announced a drone strike on an industrial enterprise located east of Moscow, following Ukraine's claim of targeting a major oil refinery. According to Gleb Nikitin, governor of Nizhny Novgorod region, the attack caused significant damage to the industrial facility in Kstovo district. Over 100 drones were deployed during the night, and no casualties were reported, though the plant's specific operations were not disclosed.\n\nUkrainian media reported an assault on the Kstovo oil refinery, describing it as one of Russia's largest refineries, manufacturing fuel and lubricants. Moscow had previously stated on Friday that Ukraine had recommenced attacks on Russian oil refineries after a brief hiatus of several days. Senior Russian official Alexander Novak informed a state TV reporter that Ukraine had resumed targeting Russian plants, striking three oil refineries and one gas-chemical complex.\n\nKyiv has consistently targeted Russian oil and gas facilities in response to Russia's assaults on Ukrainian energy infrastructure since Russia initiated its military campaign there in February 2022. The United States President Donald Trump had been urging Kyiv to halt such strikes for weeks, attributing them to the increasing expense of diesel fuel.",
