Drone Attacks on Oil Refineries

In September, drone attacks led to the shutdown of four Russian oil refineries. Among them were 'Kirishinefteorgsintez' in the Leningrad region and the Ryazan refinery owned by 'Rosneft'. This caused significant losses and a temporary shutdown of production.

The fire at the oil refinery in Yaroslavl occurred as a result of the attack, and the drone attacks on other facilities indicate a serious threat to the security of oil processing enterprises in Russia. These events raise questions about the need to improve security measures at such facilities, as their operation is of great importance to both regional and national economies.
