A Ukrainian drone attack on November 9 caused a fire at the Kirishinefteorgsintez (KINEF) oil refinery in Russia's Leningrad region, according to Governor Alexander Drozdenko. The attack damaged three oil processing units, and a woman was killed by falling drone debris in Vsevolozhsk. The KINEF refinery, owned by Surgutneftegaz, processes about 18 million tonnes of crude oil annually, representing 7% of Russia's total refining capacity. This is the second major attack on the refinery this year. In response to the ongoing Ukrainian strikes on its energy infrastructure, Russia has imposed fuel purchase limits at Rosneft stations, capping petrol sales at 30 liters in cities and 50 liters on highways, and diesel sales at 100 liters in Krasnoyarsk.
