“As a result of terrorist acts from the western border of the Rostov region, two unmanned aerial vehicles hit the Novosakhtinsk technological facility.

The staff has been evacuated and the technological equipment has been shut down to assess the damage,” the plant stated.

The Novoshakhtinsk refinery started operating in 2009 and produces up to 7.5 million tons of petroleum products annually.
