Ukrainian Drone Attack Hits Lukoil Refinery Deep in Russia
- On Friday, August 21, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced long-range drone strikes hit a major oil refinery in Perm and the Marinovka military airfield, an operation confirmed by The General Staff.
- The Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery, known as PNOS, processes more than 13 million tons of crude annually and sits more than 1,500 km from Ukraine's border near the Ural Mountains, serving as critical fuel supply for Russia's economy and military.
- Military officials reported strikes on the Marinovka airfield in Volgograd Oblast and warehouses in Donetsk and Crimea, while Zelenskyy confirmed damage to a Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber at the Akhtubinsk airfield located about 600 km away.
- Recent attacks including an Omsk refinery struck 2,500 km away in Siberia and hits at the TANECO refinery force Moscow to spread air defenses across thousands of kilometers to protect energy infrastructure.
- While Perm Krai authorities claimed they repelled the attack and downed 16 drones, The General Staff recorded a fire on the plant's grounds, as each strike compounds strain on refining while the Kremlin diverts chemicals toward military use.
