A Ukrainian attack on the Orsk oil refinery in Russia has forced the facility to shut down for several months, according to Reuters coverage. The closure is already causing fuel supply disruptions in the region.
The attack, described as a drone strike in The Moscow Times report, has rendered the refinery inoperable for approximately six months. Reuters notes that the shutdown has led to noticeable fuel shortages, highlighting the refinery’s role in regional fuel distribution.
