Ukrainian drone attack kills four in Volgograd industrial zone

Four people were killed and two injured in a Ukrainian drone attack on an industrial zone in Volgograd, the regional governor said, in what Reuters described as the deadliest attack on the southern Russian city so far.

Why it matters: Volgograd hosts a Lukoil refinery processing about 5 percent of Russia's crude, and the strike extends a campaign since late October that industry sources say has temporarily cut Russian refining capacity by about 30 percent.

A Ukrainian drone attack on an industrial zone in Volgograd killed four people and injured two, regional governor Andrei Bocharov said on Friday, in what Reuters described as the deadliest attack on the southern Russian city so far. Residents reported loud explosions overnight, and an unconfirmed video posted on social media appeared to show a large fire at the city’s Lukoil refinery, though there was no official confirmation the refinery itself was attacked and Lukoil did not respond to a request for comment.

The refinery processes about 14 million tonnes of crude a year, roughly 280,000 barrels a day or about 5 percent of Russia’s total refining volume, and has been targeted several times before. Ukraine has sharply intensified attacks on Russian refineries since late October, after an energy ceasefire announced by President Trump did not materialise; two industry sources cited by Reuters this week estimated the attacks have temporarily reduced Russian refining capacity by about 30 percent.
