Details: Busargin, as the Russian authorities typically do during Ukrainian drone strikes, claimed that the UAVs were intercepted by Russian air defence, but wreckage caused damage to an industrial facility.
However, photos and videos published on social media show a large fire at the refinery.

Kovalenko confirmed the strike and emphasised that this was not the first attack on this facility.
Quote from Kovalenko: “The Saratov Oil Refinery is one of the key facilities of Russia’s fuel infrastructure. Its processing capacity reaches seven million tons of oil per year.”
Background: In November 2024, the Rosneft oil refinery in the Russian city of Saratov was attacked by Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence.
