  "account": "Lukoil, Russia's fourth-largest oil refiner, has been repeatedly hit by Ukrainian drone strikes. The NORSI refinery in Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, is now offline after a strike on 26 August, Reuters reported, marking its fifth drone-related shutdown in under five months. The refinery, which produces about 5 million tons of gasoline and over 5 million tons of diesel annually, supplies Russia's armed forces and could not be repaired in time. NORSI's closure follows the shutdowns of Lukoil's Perm and Volgograd refineries due to drone attacks on 21 August and 31 July, respectively. This marks a surge in drone strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, coming shortly after the Russian government distributed fuel more evenly to combat shortages.",
