  "summary": "Ukraine's Defense Forces struck Russian airfields and key infrastructure overnight on Aug. 30, according to the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. A fire broke out at the Kirishi oil refinery in Leningrad Oblast, which is Russia's second-largest refinery by capacity, processing around 20 million tons of oil annually. Ukraine also targeted the Yeysk airfield in Krasnodar Krai, destroying a Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile-and-gun system, a Sopka radar, an aircraft weapons depot, and an ammunition depot. Unmanned Systems Forces commander Robert \"Magyar\" Brovdi confirmed that the main target was the DRL-27 module of the RSP-27 aircraft landing radar system at the Millerovo airfield. The destroyed system was an airfield traffic-control radar that detects aerial targets and manages air traffic. Additionally, Ukraine struck a drone depot belonging to the Rubicon unit and an enemy drone command post near Chumatske in Donetsk Oblast.",
