Ukraine’s military said it attacked Rosneft PJSC’s Saratov oil refinery in southwestern Russia while regional authorities elsewhere said they repelled drones near crude processing facilities.

A processing unit and a vertical storage tank were damaged at the Saratov plant, which produces fuel for Russia’s military, the Ukrainian General Staff said Saturday on Telegram. The extent of the damage is being clarified, it said.
