Ukraine's armed forces strike three units at Saratov oil refinery
In addition, analysts recorded damage to technological pipelines and storage tanks across the enterprise's grounds.
Background
The Saratov oil refinery is one of the oldest oil refining enterprises in Russia. Formerly known as the "Cracking" plant, it now operates within the structure of the oil company Rosneft. According to data cited in the report, the refinery processed 7.2 million tons of oil in 2020 and 4.8 million tons in 2023.
The enterprise manufactures over 20 types of products, including unleaded gasoline, diesel fuel, marine fuel, major grades of fuel oil, bitumen, vacuum gas oil, and technical sulfur.
As Rubryka previously reported, overnight into November 7, Ukraine's Defense Forces attacked several targets inside Russia. Strikes hit the Saratov oil refinery, explosions sparked a large-scale fire in Rostov-on-Don, and hits were recorded near the Proton enterprise in Oryol, which manufactures equipment for the Russian military-industrial complex.
Overnight into May 31, attack drones struck Russia's Saratov oil refinery, triggering a massive fire at the facility.
Overall, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has confirmed strikes on seven Russian oil refineries. Since October 30, Ukraine's Defense Forces have struck the Omsk, Kirishi, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Yaroslavl refineries—which rank among Russia's five largest—as well as the smaller yet equally vital to the adversary Novokuybyshevsk and Saratov plants.
