"[The refinery] produces fuel for military vehicles, aircraft fuel, diesel fuel and other petroleum products used in tanks, planes, ships and other Russian military equipment," Kovalenko explained.

The Kremmy El plant manufactures microelectronics for missile systems, the Pantsir air defence system, Iskander missiles, as well as for radars, electronic warfare systems and Russian drones.

"It was at least the third attack on this facility by unknown drones," Kovalenko concluded.
