One more Russian oil refinery exploded last night

In the early hours of Saturday, 23 March 2024, a fire erupted at the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Russia’s Samara Oblast following reported explosions at the facility.

According to Russian Telegram channels, such as Mash and Astra, local residents reported hearing an explosion at the Novokuibyshevsk refinery, which led to a subsequent fire. Preliminary information suggests that the refinery was targeted by a drone attack, like nearly 15 other oil refineries and oil depots earlier this year. In recent months, several oil refineries and depots across Russia have been targeted, including facilities in Krasnodar Krai, Kaluga Oblast, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Oryol, Kursk, Volgograd, and Saint Petersburg.

Russian Telegram channels reported Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Samara Oblast came under drone attack in the early hours of 23 March.
