Russian refinery in flames after midnight drone attack - video

Residents reported the sounds of flying drones, machine gun fire, and a series of explosions followed by the fire. 

According to another Russian Telegram channel, Mash, the fire at the refinery allegedly broke out after the drone debris fell.

The regional governor, Yury Slyusar, claimed that seven drones had been shot down by air defense forces, with no casualties or damage on the ground.

The Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery has been targeted at least four times since Russia's full-scale invasion began, including three times in 2024.
