NASA FIRMS satellite fire-detection data indicates significant thermal activity at the Kirishi oil refinery in Russia’s Leningrad Oblast, with multiple active fire hotspots. The reported fires followed Ukrainian long-range drone strikes targeting the facility. The extent of the damage, which refinery units were affected and whether production was disrupted remain unclear. The Kirishi refinery is a major part of Russia’s oil-processing infrastructure. The reported strike highlights Ukraine’s ability to threaten strategically important industrial targets deep inside Russian territory.
