Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez (NORSI) in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast of the aggressor country russia has suspended operations after a Ukrainian drone attack. This is the fourth largest oil refinery in russia.
Reuters reported this information citing its own sources on Tuesday, April 7.
The company was attacked last Sunday, April 5. According to local authorities, a fire broke out at the refinery during the attack. Two on-site facilities, a power plant and several residential buildings were damaged.
Unnnamed sources told Reuters that the refinery has suspended its operations as a result of the damage. Supplies from it may be suspended until the end of this month.
This is also evidenced by data from the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange. Lukoil, which owns NORSI, has stopped selling gasoline, diesel fuel or fuel oil from this refinery.
Reuters notes that NORSI is russia's fourth largest refinery. It is capable of processing up to 16 million tons of oil per year
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on April 7, it became known, that as a result of an attack by Ukrainian drones the work of the Shekhsaris oil terminal in Novorossiysk was suspended. This is a key export point for russian oil and oil products on the Black Sea.
We also wrote that as a result of a series of Ukrainian strikes in late March, almost every second oil or oil product tank in the russian port of Primorsk on the Baltic Sea was put out of commission. And in the neighboring port of Ust-Luga, every fourth tank was damaged.
