On the night of August 21, drones attacked Russia: under attack in particular was the Rostov region, where a fire rose at a local oil refinery. The facility had previously been attacked.
The drones attacked the Novoshakhtinsky oil refinery, which specializes in the production of fuel oil, heating oil, marine fuel, and diesel fuel and straight-run gasoline. The attack on the object of the Russian oil industry was reported by local Telegram channels.
The network reported that a strong fire rose at the site of the strike.
“The AFU hit the oil refinery in Novoshakhtinsk, Rostov region. A fire has started,” media Astra informed.
The media reported that at least 5 explosions sounded over the town of Novoshakhtinsk, where the refinery operates. The network also showed footage of the aftermath of the UAV attack.
OSINT channels note that the Novoshakhtinsk refinery in the Rostov region was under the defense of several Russian Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems, as well as the Tor tactical anti-aircraft missile system.
Official information about the attack from Russian authorities was not available at the time of publication. The military has not yet confirmed the attack on the Novoshakhtinsk refinery.

Excellent! Almost daily (nightly) attacks on the mafia oil industry is the best strategy to destroy the mafia army, economy, and mafia land itself.
The defenders have a simply immense task, with very little outside assistance.
I’ve always thought that they get only 20% of what they need, but they are achieving excellent results.
Hopefully, putinaZi refineries are being damaged beyond repair.
I think we don’t know half of what Ukraine is getting, and I mean across the whole board. It’s unlikely the country could achieve such spectacular hits on refineries and so on without any help.
