Russian oil refineries have experienced a series of drone attacks, leading to a significant drop in the country's crude refining capacity to a 10-month low. The Kuibyshev oil refinery in Russia's Samara region suspended operations after one of its units, AVT-4, was damaged in a drone attack on March 23, described as a '10/10 strike' with 'incredible accuracy'. This incident is part of a broader pattern of attacks on Russian refineries, marking the 12th such incident. The attacks have prompted concerns over supply disruptions, contributing to a surge in crude oil prices to a six-year high amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and heightened geopolitical risks. Media reports and sources confirm the suspension of operations at the Kuybyshevsky refinery and the damage to its primary unit following the Ukrainian drone strikes.
