Sign InThe Kirishi refinery, a critical Surgutneftegas facility with a 400,000 bpd capacity, was targeted by Ukrainian drones amid a broader campaign that saw over 50 UAVs launched at Moscow between May 2 and May 5. Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed that an additional 19 drones were intercepted within the last 24 hours as regional tensions escalate. Regarding the refinery strike, Leningrad Governor Alexander Drozdenko stated that the resulting fire in the Kirishi industrial zone has now been localized. While the immediate blaze is under control, the disruption to such a high-capacity site continues to pose risks to Russian fuel supply stability. Market participants remain focused on the duration of the operational outage and its impact on global oil prices. The scale of the recent drone activity underscores a significant intensification of the conflict's impact on energy infrastructure.
