Ukraine Hits Perm Refinery After Drone Strikes Halted Kirishi

Kyiv targets oil sites to cut the cash Russia earns from fuel.

Overview

  • A drone reached the Lukoil-Perm refinery on Thursday, the regional governor said, and no casualties were reported.
  • Ukraine’s security services said long‑range drones struck the Kirishi refining complex in Leningrad Oblast overnight Monday to Tuesday.
  • The SSU said three crude‑distillation units at Kirishi were hit and a fuel tank at the nearby oil pumping station caught fire.
  • Reuters, citing industry sources, reported Kirishi halted refining after the attack, and NASA fire data showed heat signatures at the site.
  • Kirishi processes roughly 6–7% of Russia’s fuel and links to exports via Primorsk, so extended repairs could curb output and reduce revenue for the war.
