Russian authorities reported a massive overnight drone attack involving an industrial enterprise in the Kstovo district, with the regional governor saying the site sustained significant damage.

Gleb Nikitin, governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, said the industrial enterprise was significantly damaged during the attack, according to reporting by The Hindu. The official account did not identify the facility as an oil refinery.

Euronews reported that Telegram war-monitoring channels said the Kstovo oil refinery had been targeted. The facility is also known as the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez refinery and was described as thought to be one of Russia’s largest such facilities, but those details remain attributed to the source’s reporting.

The supplied evidence does not establish whether the refinery itself was struck, or the full extent of any damage to it. It also does not establish who carried out the attack.
