"Russia was ‘rumbling’ again on the night of May 11," HUR stated. "The Volgograd refinery, owned by Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka, got an unexpected visit from our UAVs."
Intelligence sources indicated that primary refining units AVT-1 and AVT-6 were affected, and the exact extent of the damage is still being assessed. Additionally, a control cable for air refrigerators was destroyed, shutting down seven of them. The chimney of the P-1 furnace was also hit.
Russian media reported that air defense systems intercepted seven drones over the Volgograd and Kursk regions on May 11. Anti-aircraft fire was audible in Volgograd's Krasnoarmeysky district.
Back in early February 2024, Ukrainian drones also attacked the Volgograd refinery, sparking a fire.
Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka LLC, the largest oil producer in Russia's Southern Federal District, can refine up to 14.8 million tons of petroleum annually.
