- Fires and damage were reported at industrial and residential sites.

## Summary

Ukrainian forces struck the Volgograd oil refinery and a production facility in Rostov-on-Don in an overnight drone attack on 13 November. The strikes appear to continue Ukraine’s effort to disrupt infrastructure that supports Russia’s military and brings in energy revenue, coming a day after peace negotiations in Abu Dhabi.

The Lukoil-owned Volgograd refinery can process 15 million tonnes of crude oil a year and is about 400 kilometres from Ukraine; the governor confirmed fires in the city’s southern industrial zone. Rostov Oblast’s governor reported fires at a production facility and warehouse, while falling drone debris damaged a residential building. The attacks followed further Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy sites and Moscow-area airports.
