Drones attacked an oil refinery in the Volgograd region: a fire broke out. Video

On the night of January 31, the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation was attacked by drones. An oil refinery was hit.

A fire broke out at the plant, and one victim was reported. This was reported by Russian media.

Russian propagandists, citing Volgograd Oblast Governor Andrey Bocharov, began writing about "falling debris" at the refinery and the subsequent fire.

"Drones attacked an oil refinery in the Volgograd region. According to the head of the region, Andrey Bocharov, a fire started as a result of falling debris," one Russian publication writes.

The propagandists also claim that the fire was "promptly extinguished," and that a total of eight UAVs were allegedly "shot down" over the Volgograd region.

"One worker was also injured and hospitalized," the Russian media added.

Local publics wrote that the Krasnoarmeysky district, located in the southern part of Volgograd, was attacked. The Russians also reported several powerful explosions, after which ambulances rushed through the city.

Several oil refineries are located in the area, including Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka (which can process up to 15.7 million tons of oil per year), Intesmo lubricants plant, Volga-Oil motor oil production, and the EcoTON refinery.

Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the "interception and destruction" of 49 Ukrainian drones overnight. Allegedly, 25 drones were shot down over Rostov Oblast, eight over Volgograd Oblast, six over Kursk Oblast, four over Yaroslavl Oblast, and two each over Belgorod and Voronezh Oblasts and Krasnodar Krai.

Earlier, it was reported that Russia had stopped oil transit through the port of Ust-Luga after a drone attack. According to Bloomberg, on January 29, oil transit in Ust-Luga fell to zero.

It was also reported that on the night of January 30, explosions were heard in the Bryansk region: a station of the Druzhba oil pipeline was on fire.
