On the night of August 26, explosions were heard in Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia. The Kstovo oil refinery was reportedly damaged.
A fire broke out there. Footage from the scene was collected by the Telegram channel Exilenova+.
What is known about the attack on the Kstovsky refinery?
The fact that the Kstovsky Refinery was under attack by the Defense Forces that night became known closer to the morning, when the Russians began publishing footage of the explosion on the territory of the enterprise.
According to Exile+, the Kstovsky Refinery, or as it is also called, ” LUKOIL-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez”, one of the largest oil refineries in Russia, was indeed affected.
“Locals are reporting numerous explosions and flying over the territory of the enterprise. A large-scale fire and heavy smoke are observed in the area of the refinery,” Exile+ noted.
The enterprise’s design capacity is about 17 million tons of oil per year. The plant produces automotive gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, lubricants and other petroleum products.
The enterprise is important for the fuel supply of the Russian economy and the Russian Armed Forces, as its products, in particular aviation and diesel fuel, are used to meet the needs of the Russian forces.
“Due to the scale of production, the destruction of the plant will create an additional burden on the enemy’s fuel system,” the channel adds.
Previously, the company had been attacked more than once and even stopped working due to damage caused to it.
As of 4 a.m., the attack was still ongoing, so it was too early to talk about the extent of the damage.
Previously, OBOZ.UA reported that on the night of August 26, the Wildberries logistics hub was attacked again in the Tambov region.
A fire broke out at the facility, and Russian media began to write that it appeared to have been completely destroyed.
Great! More reasons for the cockroaches to cry on video and to beat and kill each other at the pumps.
