#Repost @kyivindependent_official with @use.repost_ . . . Ukrainian forces attacked the Kirishi oil refinery in Russia’s Leningrad Oblast overnight on Sept. 14, Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed.
The Kirishi refinery is one of the largest in Russia and has a processing capacity of over 17 million tons of oil per year.
Russian air defense intercepted three drones in the Kirishi area, Leningrad Oblast Governor Alexander Drozdenko claimed. Wreckage from a downed drone crashed on the site of the refinery, igniting a fire.
The fire has since been extinguished and there were no casualties, Drozdenko said.
Video footage and photos from local residents published by the Russian opposition news channel Astra appear to show a large blast and flames rising from the Kirishi refinery after the attack.
