This morning, Ukrainian forces struck an oil refinery in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod region, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The strike comes as part of a sustained campaign targeting Russia's energy infrastructure — the latest in a string of similar attacks The Zioneer has tracked over the past month. Russia's Defense Ministry separately announced that its air defenses intercepted 327 Ukrainian drones overnight, though the statement is a single official source and has not been independently verified.
This is the second reported strike on the Nizhny Novgorod region's refinery sector within hours: earlier today, a separate Ukrainian attack hit the Kstovo refinery in the same region (The Zioneer, 06:39 Jerusalem). That earlier strike was reported by a single source; the current one — a different location — also rests on a single journalist's report.
Details on damage, casualties, or the specific weapons used are not yet available. The Kremlin has not commented on the latest attack.
