The largest Russian refinery stopped the key block after the attack of Ukrainian UAVs
Without naming their names in connection with the "delicacy of the situation", insiders still said that one of the blocks at the plant was stopped due to a fire caused by drones. It accounts for almost 40% of the total processing capacity of about 20 million tons per year, or 400,000 barrels per day. The repair of the block may probably take about a month, as the stove and other equipment are damaged.

This will make it possible to compensate for a simple damaged block and maintain processing at about 75% of the rated power. According to sectoral sources, in 2024 this refinery processed 17. 5 million tons of oil, which was 6. 6% of the total oil processing in Russia. 2 million tonnes of gasoline, 7. 1 million tons of diesel fuel, 6.
1 million tons of fuel oil and 600 thousand tons of bitumen were produced. After the attack, the governor of Leningrad region, Alexander Drozdenko, reported that three drones were destroyed in the Kirishiv district, and the fire that arose due to the fall of the debris was extinguished. He added that no one was injured.
The commander of the forces of the unmanned systems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Robert "Magyar" Browie confirmed the attack on the enterprise in the morning of September 14 and promised continuation. The blow was inflicted at a distance of 810 km from the Ukrainian border on the installation of primary distillation of ELOU AVT-6 oil, Osint-channel "Eye Gora" said.
