  "account": "Ukrainian drones struck three of the four refineries that provide fuel to Moscow over the past week, setting fire to the facility that fuels St. Petersburg. On November 9, a drone hit the Kinef oil refinery in Kirishi, a town located about 800 km from the Ukrainian border, sparking a fire and causing damages to heating equipment. The refinery, which is Russia's largest, turns crude oil into fuel for the Russian military and war budget. Air defenses reportedly downed 113 drones in the region overnight. Ukrainian monitoring channels first reported the attack shortly after 3 a.m. local time on November 9. Other drone attacks were reported in Crimea and Luhansk Oblast, causing explosions at a Russian air base and burning wind turbines. Rosneft, Russia's largest oil company, limited fuel sales across all regions following the drone strikes.",
