Ukraine Says It Hit Russia’s Major Baltic Refinery Kirishi

Ukraine said it hit a key Russian export-oriented oil refinery in the Leningrad region overnight, another intensification of Kyiv’s attacks on Baltic energy infrastructure this week.

The strike on the Kirishi facility was conducted by Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and the nation’s armed forces, USF Chief Robert Brovdi said in a Telegram statement. Primary crude processing units and two storage tanks caught fire after the strike, Ukraine’s General Staff said in a separate statement.
