> Two industry sources told Reuters that the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery halted operations after a Ukrainian drone attack that caused a fire. A crude distillation unit representing about 40% of capacity is shut down, with repairs potentially taking up to two weeks. Repeated strikes have contributed to Russia’s summer fuel crisis.
