Russian Refinery Attacks

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed that its Defense Forces struck the Bashneft-UNPZ oil refinery in Ufa, Republic of Bashkortostan, on the night of 21-22 September 2026, saying a fire was reported on the facility's premises. The strike came in the same wave as a separate, confirmed hit on the Kuibyshev refinery in Samara (see the linked 22 September 2026 Kuibyshev record). Ukraine's Center for the Study of Occupation had earlier described preliminary, unconfirmed reports that 'one of the Bashneft refineries' in Ufa was targeted, and Ufa International Airport briefly restricted operations during the attack. No casualties were reported at the refinery. No source reviewed named the specific unit struck, confirmed a production halt, or gave a restoration timeline; the General Staff's confirmation covers the strike and reported fire, not a verified damage assessment. This is a distinct repeat-strike entry for the same Bashneft-UNPZ facility as the documented 2 August and 19 August 2026 attacks.

Ukrainian drones struck Rosneft's Kuibyshev oil refinery in Samara overnight into 22 September 2026, part of a wider wave that also reportedly hit the Bashneft-UNPZ refinery in Bashkortostan the same night. Eyewitness video showed a large fireball and rising smoke over the plant; Russian opposition outlet ASTRA and Ukrainian monitoring channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+ corroborated the strike. Militarnyi's satellite/imagery review assessed the AVT-5 crude-distillation unit as likely damaged again, alongside several other fire spots, but that unit-level assessment was not independently corroborated elsewhere. Samara region Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said one person was killed and four wounded in the region during the attack, without stating whether the casualties occurred at the refinery or elsewhere, and he did not name the refinery in his public statement, referring only to 'industrial enterprises' being targeted. No source reviewed established the refinery's post-strike operating status, a restoration timeline, or a verified casualty count specific to the refinery site. This is a distinct repeat-strike entry for the same facility as the documented 23 March 2024 attack; the refinery also suffered a full operational shutdown after a separate strike on its AVT-4 and AVT-5 units in June 2026, which is not separately mapped here.

Several Ukrainian drones reached the Moscow oil refinery in the Kapotnya district during a mass overnight attack on 19–20 September, according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. Reuters witnesses saw smoke rising from the refinery, while Associated Press reported that the mayor confirmed damage at the site. Ukraine's General Staff subsequently said the AVT-6 primary crude-distillation unit, the KUPN integrated processing complex and an isomerisation unit were damaged; that equipment-level assessment has not been independently verified. The approximately 245,000-barrel-per-day plant supplies about 40% of Moscow's fuel market and is widely reported as a principal supplier of aviation fuel to the capital's airports. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian missiles and drones struck Russian oil and logistics facilities during the wider operation. Three people were reported killed and others wounded elsewhere in the Moscow region, but no casualties were reported at the refinery. The reviewed reporting does not confirm a refinery-wide shutdown or quantify lost throughput.

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed a strike on the AVT-3 crude-distillation unit at the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl on the night of 16-17 September, part of a combined operation that also targeted a Russian military airfield near Rostov-on-Don. This is a distinct, separately confirmed strike from the 6 August attack on the same refinery, which reporting at the time did not tie to the AVT-3 unit specifically (that designation elsewhere in Russian refining coverage refers to a different plant, at Ryazan). The reviewed reporting did not publish independent damage-extent imagery or a production-halt confirmation for this strike; no casualties were reported.

Ukrainian monitoring channels first reported an overnight drone attack and fire at the Syzran oil refinery in Russia's Samara Oblast on 15 September. Three industry sources subsequently told Reuters that the refinery paused operations on 16 September after the strike damaged its main CDU-6 crude distillation unit — about 71% of Syzran's processing capacity — with repairs expected to take at least a month; the plant's secondary unit (the remaining 29% of capacity) had already been under maintenance following a separate July attack, leaving the refinery's output effectively halted. The same Reuters reporting noted Russia's Saratov refinery, hit earlier and shut for weeks, was attacked again around 12 September just as it prepared to restart. No casualties were reported at Syzran. This is a distinct episode from the refinery's August strikes tracked separately on this site.

Ukrainian military intelligence claimed a 13 September drone strike damaged a central oil-processing unit and tank storage at Slavyansk-ECO. Krasnodar regional authorities separately said an attack on an unnamed enterprise in Slavyansk-on-Kuban injured three people and damaged an oil pipeline. The Russian account did not identify the refinery, while the Ukrainian damage assessment has not been independently verified, so the accounts are presented together without treating every claimed effect as confirmed at Slavyansk-ECO. No production-loss, complete-shutdown or pollution quantity was established. The marker is an approximate refinery-area reference, not a verified impact point.

Drones reportedly reached Saratov overnight on 8 September, with resident footage showing explosions and a substantial fire. Independent Russian outlet Astra geolocated the visible blaze to the Rosneft-operated Saratov oil refinery. Saratov Governor Roman Busargin separately confirmed damage to civilian infrastructure and preliminary casualties during the regional attack but did not identify the refinery or publish a casualty count. Associated Press then reported, again citing Astra, that a separate overnight Ukrainian drone attack on 11 September started another fire at the refinery. AP said Kyiv had repeatedly targeted the facility, but the reviewed reporting did not identify the damaged unit, establish whether the later fire represented new physical damage, or quantify production losses and outage duration. Reports also described air-defence activity near Engels-2 air base during the earlier attack, but no reviewed evidence established an impact there. The grouped record therefore distinguishes the two reported fire dates without treating either as a confirmed operating shutdown.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on 7 September that Ukraine's long-range forces had been used against oil refineries in Perm Krai and Tatarstan, alongside a strike on the Ryazan refinery. His statement did not name the Tatarstan facility, give an attack time or describe damage. The reviewed reporting provided no matching Russian facility acknowledgement, independently geolocated impact imagery, satellite change, fire assessment or operational notice. TANECO at Nizhnekamsk has been attacked repeatedly, but this record does not assume it was the target because the new statement did not identify it. The marker is deliberately regional and the event remains a documented Ukrainian acknowledgement of a strike, not confirmation of a successful impact at a named refinery.

Ukrainian monitoring channels Exilenova+ and Supernova+ reported that drones reached Perm on the morning of 7 September and claimed that Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez was struck again. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy subsequently acknowledged that Ukraine's long-range forces had operated against a refinery in Perm Krai, materially strengthening the attribution while stopping short of describing an impact or damage. Reporting says videos showed drones over Perm, explosions and smoke rising from the refinery area, but the reviewed material did not provide sufficiently precise geolocation or overhead change detection to quantify damage. Perm Krai Governor Dmitry Makhonin independently confirmed a large regional drone attack, but did not say that the refinery was hit. He reported that a drone struck a multistorey residential building, killing one person and injuring at least four; those casualties are not assigned to the refinery incident. Russia's Defence Ministry said 306 drones were intercepted nationwide. No Russian refinery acknowledgement, satellite damage assessment or operational notice reviewed for this update established equipment damage or production loss. This record therefore treats the strike as officially claimed by Ukraine but its success and effects as unresolved, separate from the documented 21 August refinery strike and earlier 2026 attacks.

Ukraine's General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck the Kirishi oil refinery overnight on 30 August, and Leningrad Oblast Governor Alexander Drozdenko separately confirmed a drone-related fire near the refinery. On 2 September, two Reuters industry sources said the refinery had halted all crude processing after the operating AVT-6 and AT-1 primary units were damaged. Reuters reported that AVT-6 accounts for about 40% of refinery capacity and AT-1 for about 8%; the AT-6 and AVT-2 units representing the other 52% were already offline at the time. A later open-source assessment of satellite imagery captured on 10 September identified apparent damage to the ELOU-AT-1 and ELOU-AT-6 primary units, the LCh/24/9 and LCh/24/10 diesel hydrotreaters and the LG-35/8-300B catalytic reformer. The assessment estimated that affected primary capacity totalled about 12 million tonnes per year, or roughly 60% of the refinery's nameplate capacity. That figure is an attributed imagery assessment rather than an operator-confirmed damage total; it also differs from the earlier Reuters accounting because it includes later-assessed primary and secondary unit effects while Reuters described the operating status of all primary units. The operator had not published a repair timetable, and no casualty or environmental-impact assessment was available. The Kirishi refinery, also known as KINEF, is one of Russia's largest and the only major refinery in the country's northwest, with annual capacity reported around 17.7–20 million tonnes. The facility is also subject to US sanctions. This is an operational-impact update to the 30 August strike, not a separate incident, and remains separate from the site's March 2025 and March 2026 events.

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed that Ukrainian forces targeted the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl overnight on 28 August. Eyewitness footage published online appeared to show two separate fires on the plant grounds; ASTRA geolocated the footage from Yaroslavl's Dyadkovo district to the refinery. Ukrainian defence company Fire Point said FP-1 long-range drones were used. The General Staff said the damage assessment was continuing, and neither Russian authorities nor the refinery had identified an affected unit or confirmed a production shutdown at entry time. Reporting described this as the eighth attack on Slavneft-YANOS in 2026, after incidents dated 28 March, 26 April, 8 May, 22 May, 6 July, 16 July and 6 August. That figure is retained as a reported campaign count, not an independently verified measure of damage from every event. The roughly 15-million-tonne-per-year plant is among Russia's five largest refineries. Governor Mikhail Yevrayev said one civilian was killed and 27 people were injured when falling drone debris struck an intercity bus during the wider regional attack. He separately reported debris falling on residential areas, commercial properties and industrial infrastructure. The reviewed reporting does not locate the bus casualties at the refinery, so this record does not assign casualties to the site despite headlines combining the fatality and refinery fire.

Eyewitness photographs reviewed by the independent Russian outlet ASTRA showed smoke rising over the Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim refinery during a drone attack on Bashkortostan. Russia's Defence Ministry said drones were intercepted over the region, and Ufa airport temporarily suspended operations, but Russian authorities and Rosneft did not confirm a refinery impact, fire, damage or shutdown. This record therefore treats the refinery strike as reported rather than documented. Ufaneftekhim forms part of Ufa's adjoining Bashneft refining complex with Novoil and UNPZ, whose combined design capacity is commonly reported near 23.5 million tonnes per year; that complex-wide figure is context and not the capacity of this individual plant. The raid is recorded separately from the Ufa-area refinery incidents of 1, 5 and 19 August because it occurred on a distinct date and was associated with new imagery and a separate regional drone alert.

Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck production facilities at Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez, commonly known as the NORSI refinery, overnight on 25–26 August and reported a confirmed hit followed by a fire. Nizhny Novgorod governor Gleb Nikitin separately acknowledged damage at an unnamed industrial facility in the region. On 26 August, Reuters cited three industry sources saying NORSI had halted crude-oil processing after several processing units, inter-unit infrastructure and general plant facilities were damaged; the sources could not estimate a restart date. Reuters described NORSI as Russia's fourth-largest refinery and second-largest gasoline producer, with about 15 million tonnes per year of operational capacity (design capacity is often cited near 17 Mt/year), equivalent to roughly 300,000 barrels per day. This record treats the shutdown and reported damage as documented through independent industry sourcing, while responsibility remains presented as Ukraine's claim. Broader claims about exact product losses, military supply effects, nationwide shortages or a months-long repair period remain analysis rather than confirmed consequences of this strike. The outage follows repeated 2026 attacks at Kstovo: Meduza's satellite analysis found that the AVT-6 primary unit damaged on 20 May was still underperforming in late July and that a catalytic-cracking unit had also stopped operating, showing cumulative degradation before the latest strike. Partial operation or an earlier restart remains possible if undamaged units can be used, but no timetable had been published.

A Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at the Afipsky oil refinery overnight, Krasnodar governor Veniamin Kondratyev said. Falling drone debris also struck the nearby Afipskaya railway station, where two people were killed and two injured, suspended station operations, and damaged at least ten homes; those casualties were reported at the railway station rather than inside the refinery. Reuters described Afipsky as an export-oriented refinery that processed about 7.2 million tonnes, or 144,000 barrels per day, in 2024 and has been targeted repeatedly. Ukraine's General Staff subsequently reported that the strike damaged an ELOU-AT processing unit, a gas-fractionation unit and a pipeline section. No refinery shutdown or quantified throughput loss had been independently confirmed, and the fire is no longer marked active because the initial live-response description is stale without a later status report.

An overnight Ukrainian drone attack damaged the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery and halted operations, Rostov governor Yuri Slyusar said. The Associated Press reported that it was the fourth Ukrainian attempt against the refinery in the preceding year, based on Ukraine General Staff data. Authorities did not publish the damaged unit, quantify lost output or provide a restart estimate. The refinery's own corporate history says its first construction phase ran from 2004 to October 2009 and describes two 2.5-million-tonne-per-year primary-processing units; industry material describes a design capacity of up to 7.5 million tonnes per year. Its corporate product catalogue includes straight-run gasoline or naphtha, marine and other fuel oils, bitumen and sulfur, while its logistics system includes crude reception, rail facilities, river-sea tankers and a Rostov-on-Don oil terminal. These figures describe nameplate capability and product range, not verified output immediately before the attack. This is a distinct 2026 event and is not merged with the refinery's separately recorded 2022 and 2024 strikes. The supplied infographic dates the event to 23 August, but AP, Interfax and Russian regional reporting consistently date the overnight attack and shutdown to 25 August; this record therefore retains 25 August. The infographic's Rosneft ownership label is not treated as established because it conflicts with the reviewed corporate and ownership reporting.

Ukrainian drones struck Rosneft's Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Samara region during an overnight attack wave, and a major fire was reported at the site. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukraine's military acknowledged the refinery strike, while Samara Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev confirmed that an industrial facility was damaged without naming it. Public reporting did not establish which refinery units were hit, whether processing stopped, the fire's verified area, casualties at the refinery or a restoration timeline. This is a distinct repeat-strike entry for the same facility as the documented 18 April 2026 attack and processing halt. The same wave also hit an Ozon logistics complex in Chapayevsk; that non-energy target is contextual only and is not mapped here.

Ukrainian drones struck the Bashneft-UNPZ refinery in Ufa overnight, hitting the ELOU-AVT-6 primary crude-distillation and desalting unit — a unit with capacity of more than 6 million tonnes a year that separates crude into kerosene, gasoline, diesel and fuel oil for further processing. Acting Ufa mayor Rustam Sharipov said six drones attacked the city, four of which were shot down, with the remaining drone(s) sparking a fire in the industrial zone; Bashkortostan governor Radiy Khabirov confirmed a drone struck a refinery unit undergoing repairs and damaged pipelines. OSINT monitoring (Exilenova+, reviewed by Militarnyi) geolocated the impact to the AVT-6 unit, the same unit Ukrainian forces had already struck on 2 August 2026 — meaning this strike hit the unit again while repair work from the earlier attack was still underway. No casualties were reported. Bashneft-UNPZ is one of three adjoining Ufa-area Bashneft refineries with a combined annual capacity of about 23.5 million tonnes; no Russian official damage assessment or production-halt confirmation specific to this strike was found in the cited reporting, so this record does not assert a shutdown beyond the confirmed unit damage.

Tatarstan authorities said Nizhnekamsk came under a massive drone attack targeting industrial and civilian facilities. They reported 13 people killed, including a child, and at least 75 wounded across the city; nine of the deaths were reported at a hostel. Associated Press described it as one of the deadliest attacks inside Russia during the full-scale war. An RT report updated earlier that day carried the same death toll but an earlier regional-government injury count of 48; the record retains the later figure of at least 75. Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck Tatneft's TANECO oil refinery and started a fire. Russian officials did not identify the drones' specific targets, and the refinery strike and fire could not be independently verified in the reviewed reporting. The casualty figures apply to the wider Nizhnekamsk attack and must not be attributed specifically to the refinery site. This is a separate attack from the strikes on TANECO and other Nizhnekamsk facilities in June and July 2026.

Ukrainian drone strikes hit Rosneft's Tuapse refinery and adjoining oil terminal at least three times between 16 and 30 April 2026, according to Reuters, Reuters-sourced wire reporting and Ukraine's Security Service and Defense Forces, which claimed responsibility for strikes in the series. Reuters sources said the refinery — which processes roughly 12 million tonnes (about 240,000 bbl/d) a year — almost entirely halted operations after the 16 and 20 April strikes, with fires at oil-product storage tanks initially preventing loading and continuing uncontrolled as of 21 April; the reviewed reporting did not give an operator-confirmed timeline for resuming normal operations. The 20 April strike was reported to have killed at least one person and injured another, with debris also damaging a kindergarten, school, church and residential block, according to Reuters-sourced coverage; Russian regional governor Veniamin Kondratiev described it as part of a 'massive drone attack' and Russia's defense ministry said 112 drones were intercepted nationwide overnight, without confirming Tuapse-specific damage figures. Damaged tanks released fuel oil that reached the Tuapse River and the Black Sea. CNN, citing local reporting and environmental sources, described a slick roughly 7 km long covering about 10 square kilometres of sea; Al Jazeera reported oil affecting roughly 20 kilometres of coastline; neither figure is an official Russian measurement, and this record treats them as press-reported estimates rather than a confirmed spill volume. The Moscow Times and CNN reported residents describing 'black rain' — an oily residue falling with rainfall and coating surfaces, pets and wildlife — along with a chemical smell in the town of roughly 60,000; an environmental commentator cited by the Moscow Times said short-term exposure to associated compounds such as benzene, toluene and xylene can irritate lungs and skin, while Al Jazeera reported one measurement of benzene, xylene and soot at roughly three times safe levels after the 20 April strike, sourced to unnamed local reporting rather than a published regulatory assessment. Local authorities were reported to have declared a state of emergency, closed schools and urged residents to keep windows shut; more than a dozen boats and volunteer teams reportedly deployed booms and used excavators to clear oiled beaches, and reported mass bird deaths led to the establishment of informal wildlife-cleaning centers for oiled birds and other animals. Environmental experts cited by Al Jazeera warned that ecosystem recovery could take five to ten years or longer, a forward-looking assessment rather than a confirmed outcome. No Rosneft or Russian federal statement reviewed for this record quantified the spill volume, confirmed a specific casualty count for the full strike series, or gave a refinery restart date; this record therefore treats operational and environmental figures as press-reported rather than officially confirmed, and does not merge the individually dated 25 January 2024 Tuapse strike record with this later, separate strike series. The marker is placed at the refinery/terminal site and does not represent the extent of the marine spill.

A fire began at 16:49 in an independent additives-feeding block at Lukoil's Ukhta refinery. The operator said it was contained at 23:20 and extinguished at 01:14 the following morning, after which repair and recovery work began. One employee was hospitalized with an injury described as moderate. Lukoil reported that the refinery's core process equipment, tank farm and connecting utilities were not threatened, that other units continued operating normally and that crude acceptance and commercial output were unrestricted. Company monitoring reported no detected environmental pollution. Because the operator did not identify the additives involved, this is labelled as an additives-unit fire rather than specifically a fuel-additive incident.

Ukraine's General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck Tatneft's TANECO refinery in Nizhnekamsk during the night of 19–20 August and that a fire followed. Nizhnekamsk mayor Radmir Belyayev confirmed a large drone attack on the district but said Russian air defences had repelled it; Russian officials did not confirm a refinery hit or publish damage. Reuters reported the Ukrainian military's claim, while video-based Ukrainian reporting also placed a fire at the facility. No independently verified damage assessment, casualty count, affected processing unit, throughput reduction or shutdown was available when this record was added. This is a distinct repeat strike from the mass 10 August attack on Nizhnekamsk and TANECO recorded separately on the map.

A Ukrainian drone attack on the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl, roughly 700+ kilometres from Ukraine's border, ignited fires that burned across the site, with regional governor Mikhail Yevrayev confirming the attack via Telegram at around 03:00 local time. Militarnyi's OSINT review of video and photo evidence identified the exact strike location, and eyewitness footage showed thick black smoke over the plant. The refinery ranks among Russia's five largest by processing capacity and supplies petroleum products to Central and Northwestern Russia as well as military-industrial facilities; this was reported as the seventh strike on the plant in 2026 following a prior attack on 16 July. No casualties were reported and the reviewed sources did not confirm a production shutdown.

Ukraine's General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck the Orsknefteorgsintez oil refinery in Orenburg Oblast and that a fire followed the strike. Militarnyi's OSINT review of imagery and monitoring-channel reports identified at least two separate fire hotspots and assessed preliminarily that either a diesel-fuel hydrotreating unit or a hydrocracking complex may have been hit; this equipment identification remains unconfirmed. Orenburg governor Yevgeny Solntsev subsequently said drone fragments damaged key infrastructure containing imported equipment, forcing a complete refinery shutdown; he warned that sanctions could make repairs take up to six months and said the region was reconfiguring fuel logistics and relying on imports. Associated Press and Interfax reported that official assessment. The refinery has annual capacity of approximately 5.76 million tonnes and produces gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, fuel oil, bitumen and other products. No refinery-specific casualties were reported. This was a repeat attack on the facility, which had also been targeted in October and November 2025 and April 2026; it is separate from the refinery's flood-related shutdown in April 2024. Published distance estimates place it approximately 1,400–1,500 kilometres from Ukraine's state border.

Open-source video circulated on 11 August showed flames and a column of dark smoke reported to be at Rosneft's Komsomolsk refinery in Khabarovsk Krai. The imagery supports recording a visible fire, but no reviewed statement from Rosneft, regional authorities or emergency services confirmed the affected unit, fire extent, casualties, pollution, production impact or cause. Claims that the refinery was attacked are not established. Its location roughly 6,500 kilometres from Ukraine and beyond demonstrated Ukrainian long-range drone operations is contextual only and does not prove or disprove sabotage, an internal accident or another cause. The marker uses Rosneft's published facility-address coordinates rather than a verified fire location within the refinery complex.

A fire broke out at the Ilsky oil refinery after debris from a falling Ukrainian drone struck the facility, according to local officials cited by the Associated Press. Six people were wounded. Ukraine's General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck the refinery. The reviewed reporting did not identify the damaged unit, quantify the fire or establish any production shutdown. This is a separate incident from the refinery's earlier attacks, including the July 2026 fire already recorded on the map.

Ukraine's General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck the Syzran oil refinery during the same overnight operation that hit the Ilsky refinery. The Associated Press report did not include Russian confirmation, independently verified imagery, a damage assessment, casualties or evidence of a new production shutdown at Syzran, so this record preserves the strike as an attributed Ukrainian claim. A later analysis by the OSINT monitors Exilenova+ and world.militares, reported by Militarnyi on 14 August, said satellite/ground imagery showed damage to two atmospheric-vacuum distillation units (AVT-5 and AVT-6), the 43-102 catalytic cracking unit, the PGI-DIG/280 high-octane gasoline unit, the L-35/11-600 catalytic-reforming unit (onto which a smokestack reportedly collapsed) and a hydrocarbon processing/stabilization (CAS) unit, affecting both primary and secondary refining and high-octane fuel-component production. This OSINT damage assessment has not been independently verified by wire services or confirmed by Rosneft/Russian authorities, so it is recorded as reported rather than documented. It is separate from the 4 August attack and the refinery's other repeated 2026 incidents already recorded on the map.

Fresh social-media footage showed a substantial black-smoke plume reported to be rising from Ufa's northern refinery complex, roughly 1,500km from the front. Online monitoring accounts attributed the fire to a Ukrainian long-range drone strike. Ufa's industrial zone contains three adjoining Bashneft refineries, but the reviewed evidence did not establish which plant or unit was affected, confirm a direct drone impact, or document damage, casualties or an operational shutdown. No current official statement or independent confirmation was found at the time of entry, so the incident remains unconfirmed.

Drones struck the Bashneft-Novoil refinery in Ufa, part of Rosneft-controlled Bashneft's roughly 7-7.4 million tonne/year Ufa complex, setting off two separate fires that sent thick columns of black smoke into the air. Ukrainian and OSINT-linked reporting said the strike hit the L-35-11/1000 catalytic reforming unit, which processes gasoline fractions into high-octane blending components, and also affected a GEXA combined unit used for diesel hydrotreating and gasoline catalytic reforming. This was reported as the third drone strike on Ufa-area Bashneft refineries within about a week, following the less-specific, unconfirmed 1 August fire recorded separately at this facility and intervening strikes reported on the neighboring Ufaneftekhim and Bashneft-UNPZ plants in the same industrial zone. No casualties, production-halt confirmation, or Russian official damage assessment was found in the cited reporting.

Tank damage was reported in 2025; Reuters later reported that processing halted after further drone attacks.

Reuters reported a July drone attack at the refinery in its current survey of Russian energy sites.

Industry sources told Reuters that processing stopped following a drone attack.

Repeated attacks, fires, equipment damage and processing stoppages were reported by Reuters and industry sources.

Reuters reported processing suspensions and damage following drone attacks.

Ukraine's Security Service (SBU), via its Special Operations Centre Alpha, struck Perm-area oil infrastructure on two consecutive nights more than 1,500 km from Ukraine. On the night of 28–29 April, drones hit the Transneft linear production-dispatch station (LPDS) Perm in the Malinovskaya area; the SBU said at least four oil-storage tanks were simultaneously ablaze, and residents reported 'oil rain' leaving dark stains on clothing, skin and vehicles. On 30 April at 13:46 local time, drones struck the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery's AVT-4 primary distillation unit, igniting its vacuum and atmospheric towers and effectively taking the unit out of operation, while the LPDS was targeted again. Perm Krai governor Dmitry Makhonin and Orenburg governor Yevgeny Solntsev (a related same-wave strike hit the Orsknefteorgsintez refinery in Orsk) both said workers were evacuated with no casualties, while minimizing the extent of damage. The refinery has a nameplate crude-distillation capacity of roughly 259,500 bbl/d (13.1 Mtpa) and serves both civilian and Russian military fuel supply. This grouped marker represents both nights of closely spaced strikes on the refinery and its dedicated pumping station.

Reuters industry sources reported a fire, equipment damage and halted processing.

Ukraine’s military claimed the strike. The cited report does not independently establish the extent of damage.

Repeated targeting and a later processing halt were reported by Reuters.

A large fire broke out at the Syzran refinery in Russia's Samara region after a reported Ukrainian drone strike, part of a wider overnight wave that also reportedly hit Wildberries logistics warehouses near Moscow and St Petersburg. Local residents reported explosions before smoke was seen rising from the refinery. The weapon used, extent of damage and any casualties were not established in the cited reporting at the time of this entry; The Kyiv Independent noted it could not independently verify the reports and that Ukraine had not commented. This is a separate, later incident from the 12 July 2026 attack recorded in the adjacent Syzran refinery entry, which this facility has been struck by repeatedly through 2025–2026.

Reuters industry sources reported that primary oil processing halted after a drone attack.

Ukraine's General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck Rosneft's Saratov refinery overnight on 1–2 August and that a fire followed. Reuters subsequently reported, citing two industry sources, that damage to production facilities and fires forced the refinery to halt oil processing from 2 August. Its sole primary crude-distillation unit, AVT-6, was shut down, and the refinery suspended fuel sales on the St Petersburg Exchange. The sources estimated repairs could take two to three weeks. The plant has roughly seven million tonnes per year of nameplate capacity and had resumed operations about a week after a separate 8 July drone strike already recorded on the map, making this a distinct repeat attack rather than a continuation of the July outage.

Reuters industry sources said the refinery halted processing after a drone attack.

The Lukoil refinery has been struck repeatedly. Ukraine's General Staff said the 29 May 2026 attack damaged four primary oil-processing units and secondary systems and halted production. During another drone wave overnight into 31 July, Volgograd's governor confirmed fires at a fuel-and-energy enterprise in the city's south and said five people were hospitalized; OSINT analysis and local monitoring identified the site as the refinery, but Russian officials did not name it. The July fire is therefore reported rather than treated as independently confirmed refinery damage.

Reuters reported fires and halted operations following drone attacks.

A Ukrainian drone strike sparked a fire at the refinery. Russian regional authorities said the fire was later extinguished.

Reuters industry sources said Russia’s largest refinery halted oil processing after a drone attack.

Reuters reported that the refinery halted oil processing after a drone attack.

Ukrainian long-range drones struck the Ilsky oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai, igniting a fire that regional officials said was extinguished within hours; falling drone debris also damaged a home and a commercial site nearby. Independent Russian outlet Astra said the refinery had been struck at least 17 times since the start of the full-scale invasion.

Ukrainian drones struck the Afipsky oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai overnight, sparking a fire on the grounds and damaging a building at a nearby railroad crossing. Regional officials reported falling debris at 16 properties in the settlement of Afipsky and neighboring communities, with one person injured. Afipsky is one of the largest refineries in southern Russia, with a design capacity of around 6.25 million tonnes of crude a year.

Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said drones traveling roughly 1,500km struck Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat, one of Russia's largest oil-refining and petrochemical complexes, hitting the critical AVT-6 primary distillation unit and triggering explosions and fire. Ukrainian reporting described it as the last major Russian refinery not yet struck during the 2026 campaign.

Ukrainian drones struck the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat oil-refining and petrochemical complex overnight, roughly 1,300-1,500km from the border, in what wire reporting described as the fourth Russian refinery struck in three days. Militarnyi's OSINT review, citing Ukrainian Liutyi drone use, identified the AVT-6 and AVT-4 primary distillation units, technical overpasses and pipelines, and a Shop No. 20 polyethylene-pellet production building as struck, with a fire breaking out in the industrial zone. Bashkortostan governor Radiy Khabirov said 16 drones were shot down over Salavat and five more over the neighbouring Chishminsky district, where falling debris also sparked a fire at an unrelated Wildberries logistics-hub construction site; he reported two people injured and hospitalised from the wave. The Moscow Times reported the refinery had already halted operations after the 13-14 July 2026 strike on the same complex (recorded separately above) and cited Khabirov acknowledging drone debris fell in the industrial zone rather than confirming specific unit damage. The facility accounts for an estimated 2.7% of Russia's total refining throughput. Neither outlet published an independent damage assessment or a production-halt confirmation specific to this second strike.

Eight Ukrainian drones struck the Slavyansk ECO refinery in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, targeting its atmospheric-vacuum distillation system; the resulting blaze was brought under control within about 90 minutes and the plant suspended operations. One refinery boiler-facility employee reportedly died of a suspected heart attack; no direct casualties from the strike itself were reported.

An explosion and fire disabled roughly half of Gazprom Neft's Omsk refinery's processing capacity, affecting crude distillation unit CDU-11 while a second unit, CDU-10, was already idle after an earlier fire. Seven people were hospitalized, one seriously. Russian investigators opened a criminal case over industrial-safety violations; officials said the fire was not linked to a drone attack. This was an accidental industrial incident, distinct from the drone strikes that have separately targeted this refinery.

A fire broke out in the RVS-10000 storage tank at Lukoil's Ukhta refinery during scheduled technical work, killing two workers and sending four more to hospital with burns and smoke-inhalation injuries. Regional officials said the fire was caused by non-compliance with safety regulations rather than a drone strike, and a commission was established to investigate. This was an accidental industrial incident, not an attack; the same refinery was targeted by drone strikes at other points during the war.

The Orsk oil refinery (Orsknefteorgsintez), Orenburg region's only refinery, suspended operations after a dam burst in two places on the Ural River on 5 April, triggering abnormal flooding that forced evacuation of over 200,000 residents in and around Orsk. Owner Forteinvest declared force majeure on petroleum-product shipments. This was a natural-disaster disruption to refinery operations, not an attack or industrial accident at the plant itself.

Ukrainian forces struck the Slavneft-YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl, more than 700km from the Ukrainian border and about 250km northeast of Moscow, early on the morning of 27 July, in what was described as the largest reported drone attack on the plant to date. President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the strike; eyewitness videos showed explosions in the city and a road toward Moscow was closed afterward. Official confirmation of damage was not available in the cited reporting. This refinery had already been struck repeatedly in 2026, including on 6 July.

Explosions were heard overnight across Yaroslavl, which Governor Mikhail Yevrayev described as the region's most massive recent drone attack, with 92 drones reported shot down. He said a private house was destroyed by fire, windows were shattered in several apartment buildings, vehicles were damaged, and traffic leaving the city toward Moscow was blocked, while reporting no fatalities or injuries. The governor said debris-clearing operations were under way at the Slavneft-YANOS refinery without confirming a direct strike; the Astra Telegram channel's OSINT analysis identified one of the night's fires as occurring at the refinery itself. This followed a Ukrainian strike on the same refinery the previous night that President Zelensky confirmed, and continues a pattern of repeated attacks — Astra counted at least six fires at this plant in 2026 alone, including the separate, larger 27 July attack recorded elsewhere on this site. Slavneft-YANOS (also called the Novo-Yaroslavl refinery) processes roughly 15 million tonnes of crude a year, among Russia's five largest refineries, producing Euro-5 gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other products.

A Ukrainian drone attack and resulting fire struck the Kuibyshev oil refinery in Samara, stopping its CDU-5 crude-distillation unit — roughly half the plant's processing capacity (about 70,000 of 140,000 bbl/d), per Russian regional officials.

Two drones struck the Novoshakhtinsk refinery near Russia's border with Ukraine. The first hit a processing unit, causing a gas leak, explosion and fire that spread to nearby equipment; the second damaged equipment in the crude-oil tank farm without starting another fire. The refinery confirmed that operations at the approximately 112,000 bbl/d plant were suspended. No casualties were reported.

A drone struck a fuel-storage tank at the Ilsky refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region and caused a fire, according to Russian state reporting and a refinery source cited by Reuters. Firefighters extinguished the blaze and no casualties were reported. The reviewed reporting did not establish a refinery-wide shutdown. A second drone broke apart near the refinery on 31 May without reported damage and is not treated as a separate material incident.

A drone caused a fire at the Afipsky refinery near the Black Sea oil-export hub of Novorossiysk, according to Krasnodar governor Veniamin Kondratyev. The fire was extinguished quickly and no casualties were reported. No party immediately claimed the strike and the available reporting did not establish lasting equipment damage or a production shutdown, so the attribution reflects the wider Ukrainian campaign rather than a public Ukrainian claim.

A fire attributed to a Ukrainian drone strike damaged the vacuum-distillation unit at Rosneft's Tuapse refinery on the Black Sea. Russian authorities confirmed the refinery fire while Ukrainian security-service sources claimed the operation. S&P Global reported that the roughly 240,000 bbl/d export-oriented plant stopped processing crude and remained offline until late April.

Two Ukrainian drones struck Lukoil's Volgograd refinery, starting a fire and damaging one primary oil-processing unit, according to Russian officials and subsequent U.S. government reporting. Lukoil initially said the approximately 300,000 bbl/d refinery was operating normally, so this record does not assign a full-site shutdown.

A Ukrainian drone attack caused a major fire at Lukoil's NORSI refinery in Kstovo. The strike took the AVT-6 crude-distillation unit offline, removing a substantial share of the refinery's primary capacity; later industry reporting also identified damage to the catalytic-cracking unit. Russian regional authorities confirmed the fire and said there were no casualties.

Ukrainian drones struck Rosneft's Ryazan refinery and started a fire. Russian officials confirmed the attack, while U.S. government and industry reporting said two primary processing units were damaged and taken offline, sharply reducing throughput at one of Russia's largest refineries. Regional authorities reported two people injured.

A Ukrainian drone attack prompted the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery to suspend operations. Rostov regional governor Vasily Golubev confirmed the attack and temporary halt; Reuters reported that the approximately 100,000 bbl/d plant resumed operations later the same day. No casualties were reported.

A Ukrainian drone strike caused a fire at Rosneft's Syzran refinery. Samara regional authorities confirmed the refinery fire, and industry reporting said the plant's main crude-distillation unit was taken offline. One person was reported injured; a simultaneous attempted strike on the nearby Novokuibyshevsk refinery did not cause a fire.

A Ukrainian drone struck the CDU-7 primary-processing unit at Tatneft's TANECO refinery in Nizhnekamsk, roughly 1,300km from the front line. A fire was extinguished within about 20 minutes. Russian authorities said production was not disrupted, while Reuters analysis of imagery established that the drone reached the core unit. The event marked a major expansion in the demonstrated range of Ukraine's refinery campaign.

A long-range drone struck the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat refining and petrochemical complex in Bashkortostan, about 1,300km from Ukrainian-controlled territory. Regional governor Radiy Khabirov confirmed damage and a fire at the site; Ukraine's Security Service claimed the operation. Contemporary reporting placed the fire near a catalytic-cracking installation, but did not establish a sustained refinery-wide production halt or casualties.

A drone attack caused a fire at Gazprom Neft's Moscow oil refinery in the Kapotnya district during a large overnight wave against targets across Russia. Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed that a stand-alone utility building at the refinery was damaged. Emergency services contained the fire, and the reviewed reporting did not establish a refinery-wide shutdown or disruption to Moscow fuel supplies.

Ukrainian long-range drones struck the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery in Perm on the morning of 21 August. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged the strike, while Associated Press reported that eyewitness footage analysed by the independent Russian outlet Astra showed the refinery ablaze; local officials confirmed damage at an unidentified industrial facility. Thick smoke was visible over the plant. Perm Krai's drone alert remained active for more than two hours, and Rosaviatsia temporarily restricted arrivals and departures at Bolshoye Savino Airport for aviation safety during the attack. Reuters subsequently reported from two industry sources that the refinery stopped operations after fire and damage to technological units. The primary CDU-4 unit, which can process about 14,000 tonnes per day and represents almost 40% of capacity, was halted; repairs were preliminarily estimated at one to two weeks. CDU-5, another 34% of capacity, had already been idle since the separate 29 July strike. The refinery is more than 1,600 kilometres from Ukraine and processed about 12.6 million tonnes of crude in 2024. This is the refinery's fourth reported strike of 2026, following the separate 30 April, 7 May and 29 July incidents already recorded on the map.

Ukraine's Security Service said long-range drones struck the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery more than 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine and started a fire. Associated Press reported the claim alongside the separate Ryazan strike but said the refinery-specific claims could not immediately be independently verified. This repeat event therefore remains reported; initial evidence did not establish casualties, the damaged unit or any production halt.

Ukraine's General Staff said its forces directly struck the Rosneft-operated Ryazan refinery and started a fire. Regional governor Pavel Malkov independently confirmed that drone debris caused fires at unidentified industrial sites and said six people sought hospital treatment, but he did not identify the refinery. A subsequent OSINT review by Militarnyi, citing satellite imagery from the Exilenova+ monitoring community, identified fire damage to the AVT-3 and AVT-4 primary crude-distillation units — together about 7.3 million tonnes/year of capacity, roughly 41% of the refinery's primary throughput — and Reuters separately reported that the Ryazan refinery halted oil refining entirely after the attack. Militarnyi described it as at least the 16th successful Ukrainian strike on the facility since March 2024. Ryazan has a nameplate capacity of about 17 million tonnes/year and supplies motor fuel to the Moscow region.
