Ukrainian drone attack takes Russia's Novoshakhtinsk refinery offline
The Novoshakhtinsk refinery in Russia's Rostov region was hit by drones and taken offline on Friday, underscoring ongoing strikes on energy infrastructure.
OilPrice reports that another Russian refinery was taken offline on Friday after a Ukrainian drone attack, highlighting continued disruption to energy infrastructure even as Ukraine and Russia pursue separate de-escalation talks with U.S. officials in New York.
The outlet says the Novoshakhtinsk refinery, located in Russia's southern Rostov region, was struck by drones and had to be taken offline, according to regional governor Yury Slyusar.
OilPrice frames the incident as part of a broader pattern of Ukraine and Russia trading strikes on energy sites despite the diplomatic efforts underway.
