  "account": "Drone strikes targeted three Russian refineries over the weekend, according to Ukrainian reports. The incidents occurred a day after a US newspaper suggested a pause in Ukraine's refinery strikes, though Zelenskyy denied any such order. Previous strikes have hit refineries in Kstovo, Novokuibyshevsk, and Ufa, processing roughly 10% of Russia's refining capacity and producing over 10% of its diesel. Kstovo, one of Russia's largest refineries, saw explosions overnight on November 1, with the fire rapidly growing and releasing a massive plume of smoke. The attack on Kstovo joins the recent assaults on Novokuibyshevsk and Ufa, all vital to Russia's oil and gas industry.",
  "summary": "Kstovo, Novokuibyshevsk, and Ufa together process tens of millions of tons of crude a year, and the newest fire is at the biggest of the three.",
