Ukraine Strikes Russia's Largest Oil Refinery

The Ukrainian military has confirmed striking one of Russia's largest oil refineries, owned by Lukoil, in the city of Perm. The attack occurred on July 29 and targeted the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery, which processes over 13 million metric tons of crude oil annually.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine has imposed 'long-range sanctions' on an oil refinery in Perm Krai, with no people injured as a result of the strike. The Security Service (SBU) claimed responsibility for the attack, revealing that the target was the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery.

A fire broke out at the facility following the attack, with preliminary information indicating that a primary oil-processing unit was burning. This is part of Ukraine's campaign to disrupt fuel supplies and degrade Russia's ability to sustain its war against Ukraine.
