## Summary

A Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at an industrial facility in Volgograd, killing four employees and hospitalising two, according to regional governor Andrey Bocharov. Ukrainian monitoring channels identified the site as the Lukoil-owned Volgograd oil refinery; the incident matters because the refinery has been repeatedly targeted and local reports described queues at petrol stations afterwards.

The attack was reported overnight on 13 November, with popular petrol brands at chain stations rising by 50 kopecks, according to local outlet V1.ru. Exilenova+ said this was the refinery’s 13th attack since the full-scale war began; Reuters reported it had stopped processing oil after an earlier strike in October. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said 467 drones headed towards the Moscow region overnight, with 144 neutralised as they approached the capital; flight restrictions at all four Moscow airports were lifted by morning.
