What happened
Ukrainian forces reported hitting Lukoil facilities in the Perm region and Novoshakhtinsk, causing both plants to catch fire. Lukoil plants in Volgograd, Perm, and NORSI in Kstovo have been struck multiple times. The Novoshakhtinsk plant halted operations after the drone attack.

Why it matters
The attacks are part of a systematic campaign against Russian refining capacity. As of late August, Lukoil's major refineries were reportedly out of operation, leading to a significant drop in oil processing. This occurs as the United States has pushed for an energy-assets truce amid surging global diesel prices.
