A Ukrainian drone strike has disrupted operations at the Volgograd oil refinery, one of Lukoil’s largest facilities in southern Russia. The attack, which occurred last Thursday, has caused significant damage to the site, leading to temporary shutdowns and safety concerns for workers.
Lukoil, a major Russian energy company, has confirmed that the refinery’s operations were halted following the incident. The company is currently assessing the extent of the damage and the potential long-term impact on production capacity. This event highlights the growing risk to energy infrastructure in the region, as the conflict continues to spill over into critical sectors.
The attack has raised concerns about the stability of Russia’s energy supply chain, particularly given the refinery’s strategic importance. Experts warn that such incidents could have far-reaching effects on global oil markets, especially as Russia seeks to maintain its energy exports amid international sanctions and geopolitical tensions.
