Kiev: Russian forces launched a rocket attack on a major oil refinery in Kremenchuk, Ukraine’s central Poltava region, according to Dmytro Lunin, the head of the Poltava regional military-civilian administration.
“Today’s shelling of the Poltava region is possibly the most extensive during the full-scale war,” Lunin wrote on Telegram.
According to Xinhua news agency, twelve rockets hit infrastructure facilities in Kremenchuk, with the majority of them hitting the oil refinery.
The attack caused a fire at the oil refinery, according to Lunin, who added that there were no casualties from the shelling.
According to local media, the Kremenchuk refinery is Ukraine’s largest oil refinery, with a design capacity of 18.6 million tonnes.
The facility was forced to close after being hit by Russian missiles in early April.
