Nation26 August, 10:43 AM
The targeted Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez refinery possesses an annual processing capacity of approximately 17 million metric tons of crude oil. It is Lukoil's largest refining facility, ranking fourth in total refining capacity across Russia and second in nationwide automotive gasoline production.
The targeted Wildberries logistics complex, spanning roughly 108,000 square meters (1.16 million square feet), is designed to store up to 54 million individual retail merchandise units.
Tambov Oblast Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov confirmed the drone strike against the Wildberries fulfillment center.
"A fire broke out at the Wildberries logistics center. The blaze spans an area exceeding 100,000 square meters," he wrote on his official Telegram channel.
Wildberries representatives also confirmed the attack on the company's Kotovsk warehousing complex.
According to the open-source monitoring Telegram channel Exilenova+, Kotovsk hub represents one of the marketplace's primary distribution nodes across Central Russia. The facility launched operations in 2025, with full-capacity projections designated to accommodate 54 million units of consumer goods.
On Aug. 26, strike drones hit the oil refinery in the city of Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. Regional authorities have not yet publicly disclosed the full aftermath of the facility strike.
Kstovo refinery manufactures motor gasoline, diesel, aviation jet fuel, industrial lubricants, and specialized petroleum products. The complex plays a vital strategic role in supplying fuel to the Russian domestic economy and Russian Armed Forces, directly providing aviation fuel and diesel to military units. Given the refinery's substantial output volumes, disruptions at the plant are expected to exert additional operational strain across Russia’s domestic fuel supply chain.
