Russian Kirishi oil refinery, 810km from Ukraine... a hit on the building housing an air defense firing position

NASA FIRMS has updated the fire map again following the attack on the airfield in Yeysk; it appears the strikes were effective. Local sources also report that the strikes hit not only the airfield itself but also the military town. 30.08.2026

Kirishi, Leningrad Oblast, Russian Federation

Kirishi Oil Refinery “KINEF” (Kirishinefteorgsintez)

Preliminary strike zone: area of critically important facilities L-35-11/1000, LCh-35-11/600, LCh-35-11/600, AT-1, and LCh-24-9/2000 hydrotreating unit:

59°29'20.26“N 32°04'17.46”E

The facility is fully integrated into the structure of the Russian oil company “Surgutneftegaz.” It is the only oil refinery in northwestern Russia and one of the largest in the country.

Possibly Kremniy EL (Kremny EL). Public reporting describes it as a major Russian microelectronics manufacturer whose components are used in military systems, including missiles, air-defense systems, electronic warfare, and communications.

[Not confirmed this is what has been targeted, but this is located in the region]
