Orsknefteorgsintez PJSC is one of Russia’s largest oil refineries, located in the city of Orsk in the Orenburg Region.

Its refining capacity is approximately 6 million tons of crude oil per year. The plant produces a wide range of products: gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, bitumen, jet fuel, and other petroleum products.

The Orsk Oil Refinery plays a key role in supplying petroleum products to the Urals and the Volga region, with some of its output destined for export.

The facility had already come under attack in October and November 2025.

As reported by Ukrinform, on Monday night, drones again attacked an oil refinery in the city of Tuapse in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, resulting in a fire at the facility’s tank farm.
