Another Russian refinery stopped after drone strike
The SIBUR-Kstovo oil refinery in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod Oblast suspended its operations after an attack by Ukrainian drones on Jan. 29, according to Russian Telegram channel Astra.
The Jan. 31 report states that the refinery shifted its main units into standby mode. Product shipments have been temporarily halted as the facility assesses the damage and conducts repairs.
The attack apparently ignited the EP-300 unit, which produces ethylene and propylene.
The refinery in Kstovo was targeted by drones overnight on Jan. 29. Residents reported at least three explosions at the site. The strike on the refinery was later confirmed by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
