A Ukrainian drone attack on the Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in Russia's Rostov region on December 19 has resulted in a significant fire at the facility. Acting Governor Vasily Slyusar confirmed the incident, noting that emergency responders are on-site, though information regarding casualties is still being clarified. The Novoshakhtinsk refinery, which had previously been targeted in June 2024, was forced to halt operations until August but had resumed normal activities before this latest attack. This strike adds to the ongoing series of drone attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, with the refinery having been hit multiple times throughout the year.
