The Perm oil refinery in Russia, the country's seventh-largest by processing volume, has halted operations following a Ukrainian drone attack, according to a Reuters report cited by Ukrinform.
The attack, which took place on Friday, caused a fire at the facility and damaged pipelines, storage tanks and processing units, according to the report.
The strike adds to a series of attacks on Russian energy infrastructure attributed to Ukraine over the course of the ongoing war, with refineries and fuel storage facilities emerging as recurring targets in recent months.
Such attacks have periodically disrupted Russian domestic fuel processing capacity, though the full scale of the impact on the Perm refinery's operations and the expected duration of the shutdown were not specified in initial reporting.
Russian authorities have not issued detailed public comment on the extent of the damage or the timeline for restoring operations at the facility.
The incident is likely to be viewed within the broader pattern of long-range strikes each side has carried out against the other's energy and industrial infrastructure since the conflict began.
