Ukrainian drone attack on Russian oil refineries disrupt fuel supplies for front

On the morning of March 16, two drones attacked two oil refineries in the Samara region, according to Telegram channels Baza and The city of Syzran.
According to information from the Telegram channel Baza, a drone attacked the territory of a factory in Syzran. A fire broke out, covering an area of 500 square meters.
"The first drone attacked the territory of an oil refinery in Syzran. A fire broke out there. Currently, the area of the fire is 500 square meters," the channel reported.
Additionally, a drone attacked the Novokuybyshevsk refinery. A fire also broke out there, but firefighters managed to extinguish it.
"At the same time, several other drones attacked the Novokuybyshevsk refinery. A fire also broke out there, which was extinguished half an hour later," the Baza channel administrators reported. The local administration of Syzran has confirmed the information about the fire. Telegram channels report that the refinery belongs to Rosneft.
"The local Rosneft refinery in Syzran is on fire after a drone attack. AVT-6 is under attack again, as one of the videos' authors says. This is a unit with two rectification columns - the heart of the plant, where oil is processed," the channels reported.
Andrii Yusov, spokesperson for Defence Intelligence of Ukraine said that every explosion at a Russian oil refinery disrupts the supply of fuel to Russians in the combat zone in Ukraine. Yusov has neither confirmed nor denied that the strikes on Russian oil refineries were the work of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, but he specified the types of facilities at which explosions occur.
"These are both storage and production capacities. Every such incident that has disrupted the operation of some facilities over the last few weeks or months also disrupted the pace of the supply of fuels and lubricants to the occupying forces in Ukraine. It gives our defence forces extra time and opportunities and helps save civilian Ukrainian lives. Tanks cannot function without fuel. Recent events clearly show that the process is ongoing and will continue", Yusov added. He said that the explosions occur at military facilities which cover the needs of the Russian forces.
