Russia's seventh-largest oil refinery, the Lukoil-owned Perm facility located over 1,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, halted operations on September 25, 2026, following a Ukrainian drone attack. The strike caused a fire, reportedly targeting the AVT-5 crude distillation unit, and damaged pipelines and storage tanks. This incident is part of a broader Ukrainian campaign against Russian energy infrastructure that has disrupted refining capacity and forced Russia to significantly increase seaborne oil imports.
