Drone Attack on Lukoil Oil Refinery: Russian Air Defense Hit Residential Building

On the night of November 16, drones struck the Lukoil oil refinery in Volgograd. During this attack, Russian air defense equipment accidentally hit a multi-story residential building. This was reported by 'Glavkom' with reference to Exilenova+.

According to information, the drones hit the Lukoil refinery several times, which had already been subjected to drone attacks before. In repelling the attack on the Lukoil refinery, the Russian air defense directed its strikes at a residential building.

After the drone attack, the Volgograd oil refinery of Lukoil suspended its operations. According to Reuters, during the attack, the primary processing unit CDU-5, with a capacity of 9,100 metric tons or 66,700 barrels per day, which constitutes one-fifteenth of the total capacity of the plant, was damaged. The hydrocracking unit, with a daily capacity of 11,000 tons, was also affected.

Recently, on the night of November 6, explosions occurred in Volgograd, which according to some reports were the result of a drone attack on the Lukoil oil refinery in the Krasnoarmeysky district of the city.

Drones again attacked the Lukoil oil refinery in Volgograd, damaging the plant's installations and forcing it to suspend operations. This is not the first case of such attacks on this facility, which poses a threat to continued production and ecological safety in the region.
