The Perm oil refinery in Russia completely stopped refining oil after a drone attack on May 7, as reported by Reuters with reference to two sources in the industry, the PromPolitInform portal informs.
According to the interlocutors of the agency, as a result of the impact and fire at the enterprise, production facilities were damaged.
After the attack, the three main primary oil refining plants, as well as part of the secondary plants, were urgently stopped.
One of the installations – CDU-4 – has not worked since April 30 after the previous drone attack.
Repairs can take several weeks
Reuters sources claim that restoration work at the enterprise may take several weeks.
