The facility in question is \u00abLukoil-Volgograd Oil Refinery\u00bb, one of Russia\u2019s largest oil refineries, which supplies fuel, including for the Russian army. The circumstances surrounding the new blaze and the extent of any damage are currently being investigated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reports are coming in from Volgograd of a major fire in the area around the oil refinery.<\/li>\n<li>The Lukoil plant has a refining capacity of around 15 million tonnes of crude oil per year.<\/li>\n<li>The Volgograd oil refinery has repeatedly been the target of Ukrainian long-range strikes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>What is known about the fire in Volgograd<\/h2>\n<p>Information about a large-scale <strong>Fire at the Volgograd Oil Refinery<\/strong> came amid reports of yet another attack on Russian territory.<\/p>\n<p>At present, there is no independently verified information regarding specific production facilities that may have been damaged. It is also unknown whether the fire has affected the plant\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p>The Volgograd Oil Refinery is situated in the Krasnoarmeysky district of the city. The \u00abKaustik\u00bb chemical plant operates nearby, which made it difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the fire from eyewitness video footage during previous attacks.<\/p>\n<h2>The Volgograd oil refinery had already suspended operations following the attacks<\/h2>\n<p>The \u00abLukoil-Volgograd Oil Refinery\u00bb is one of Russia\u2019s largest oil refineries. Its design capacity is around 15 million tonnes of crude oil per year, which accounts for approximately 5 per cent of Russia\u2019s total refining capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The plant produces motor petrol, diesel fuel, aviation fuel, fuel oil and other petroleum products. Some of the output is used to meet the needs of the Russian armed forces.<\/p>\n<p>The most recent confirmed large-scale attack on the facility took place on 2 October 2026. On that occasion, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported a strike on the oil refinery, following which explosions and a fire were observed on the refinery\u2019s premises.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, Reuters, citing industry sources, reported that the plant had completely halted oil refining due to damage to its equipment. Prior to this, the plant had also been attacked in February, May and July 2026.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0423
