**Ukrainian Drone Hits Russian Oil Refinery**
A Ukrainian drone has attacked the Taneko oil refinery in Tatarstan, Russia. The refinery is one of the country‘s biggest oil-processing facilities.
The attack happened on January 11 and workers at the refinery were evacuated as a precaution. Local people took videos showing smoke coming from the site.
Andrii Kovalenko, who helps Ukraine fight fake news, confirmed that Ukraine was behind the drone attack. He said the refinery is important for Russia’s war effort because it provides fuel to the Russian military.
The Taneko refinery processes over 16 million tons of oil every year. It was attacked by a drone in spring 2024 and some equipment was damaged.
The refinery is located in Nizhnekamsk, which is far from Ukraine – around 1,300 kilometers away.
