The Russian city was attacked en masse by drones.
At least 20 explosions went off in the Russian city of Volgograd on the night of May 29 amid a massive drone attack. Russians complained that the explosions caused car alarms to go off, writes "Focus".
After a series of strikes in Volgograd, a massive fire rose near an industrial zone. OSINT analysts report that a local oil refinery (refinery) came under drone attack.
The plant in question is Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka, which is one of the largest oil refineries in Russia. The enterprise is a part of the Lukoil structure and is of strategic importance for the fuel market of the Russian Federation.
The plant refines tens of millions of tons of oil per year and produces gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and other petroleum products. Some of the products are used to supply the Russian army and military logistics. Because of its importance for the energy and defense sectors of the Russian Federation, the facility has been repeatedly mentioned among potential targets of drone attacks.
"Volgograd. The refinery is probably under attack," observers wrote.
In the meantime, numerous footage of the attack on Volgograd has been circulated online. Video clips and photos show the glow in the sky and the fire that broke out after the explosions in the city.
In the meantime, Russian publishers write that there were at least 20 explosions in the background of the attack, and they continued to be heard from 00:11 hours. Most of the explosions were heard in the central and southern parts of the city. Russians complain of bright flashes in the sky, and also claim that the explosions caused cars' alarms to start going off en masse.
Regional Governor Andrei Bocharov said drones were allegedly attacking the Volgograd region's energy and civilian infrastructure en masse. He said an apartment building was damaged in the attack.
"An apartment building was damaged, there were no injuries or fires," Bocharov said.
