Ukraine strikes Lukoil refinery in Volgograd, killing four workers

Microsoft halts updates and restarts servers after outage

On Friday, Ukraine struck Lukoil’s oil refinery in Volgograd. Social media filled with videos of powerful flames over the plant. According to local authorities, four employees were killed in the industrial zone and two more people were injured.

The scale of the destruction is still unknown. The Volgograd refinery processes up to 15 million tonnes of oil a year. Ukraine had already hit it on Oct. 2, as part of its effort to cut Russia’s energy revenues.

After Friday’s attack, footage also spread online from local filling stations, where long queues formed.

The strike came shortly after an overnight attack on Moscow that disrupted several of the capital’s airports. A day earlier, Ukraine hit Russia’s largest oil refinery, in Omsk. All of these strikes followed two days of trilateral talks on ending the war in Abu Dhabi.
