Russian Telegram channels, citing eyewitness data, said that as of 02:15 hours, the attack on the Saratov region continued. A fire was recorded in one of the city's districts after a series of explosions - by that time they had already counted more than 20 of them.

It is probably about the "Saratov Oil Refinery" owned by Rosneft. The enterprise is considered one of the oldest plants of this type in the territory of the Russian Federation. The volume of oil refining was 4.8 million tons as of 2023, according to open sources.
