Drone attack causes major damage at an industrial plant in Kstovo, Russia

A massive drone attack caused “major damage” at an industrial facility in the Kstovo district of Russia's Nizhny Novgorod region, according to Governor Gleb Nikitin on Telegram, as cited by Euronews. Nikitin said more than 100 drones were destroyed and that, according to initial information, there were no casualties.

The governor warned of possible temporary power cuts and reduced hot water and heating in some residential networks while repairs are carried out, according to Euronews.

Russian authorities referred only to an “industrial facility”. Telegram channels that follow the war said the target was Lukoil's Kstovo refinery, one of the largest in Russia, which produces diesel and jet fuel, according to Euronews, which does not confirm that the refinery was hit.

Story not yet confirmed: the authorities or Lukoil have yet to confirm whether the damaged facility is the refinery and the extent of the damage.
