Ukraine’s drones hit a major Russian refinery 800 miles from the border, sparking a fire
The attack damaged two oil-processing units and forced the Salavat complex offline, while Wildberries said its logistics hub was also hit.
- On Aug. 13, the Ukrainian Defence Forces struck the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat oil refinery in Bashkortostan, causing a fire at the major industrial complex.
- This complex processes up to 7.5 million metric tons of crude annually, accounting for about 2.7% of Russia's total refining capacity and supporting the Russian occupation army.
- Reuters reported the attack damaged two primary oil-processing units, forcing the facility to halt operations, while residents observed a large column of black smoke.
- Since August, at least four Russian refineries have stopped processing crude following Ukrainian attacks, with a Global analysis finding disruptions at at least 26 facilities in 2026.
- Among Ukraine's targets in recent weeks have been several warehouses belonging to Russia's Wildberries, including one hit in the Chishminsky district of Bashkortostan on Aug. 13.
