Ukrainian drones struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Saratov Oblast overnight on Oct. 16, Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces has confirmed.

"The Saratov Refinery is one of the oldest Russian oil refining enterprises, formerly known as the Cracking Plant, and is part of the Rosneft oil company," the SSO said in a post on social media.

"The volume of oil processing as of 2020 is 7.2 million tons, and in 2023 it is 4.8 million tons. Recall that the SSO struck this facility exactly a month ago, on Sept. 16, 2025."

The news comes as Kyiv continues to escalate its campaign against Russian oil and gas infrastructure, a key source of Moscow’s revenues helping to fuel its all-out invasion of Ukraine.

Saratov Oblast Governor Roman Busargin announced that the Russian Defense Ministry had received information about a potential drone attack.

Later that night, the Federal Air Transport Agency, also known as Rosaviatsiya, reported the temporary closure of Saratov’s airport. Local residents reported hearing numerous explosions, according to the Russian Telegram channel Astra. The Saratov oil refinery has been targeted by drone attacks before, with the General Staff confirming a Ukrainian strikeon the facility on Sept. 20.

The Saratov refinery produces over 20 types of petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, bitumen, and more. The facility, whose processing volume amounted to 4.8 million metric tons in 2023, helps supply the Russian military, according to Ukraine’s General Staff. An electrical substation in Russia’s Volgograd Oblast is in flames following a reported Ukrainian drone strike, regional Governor Andrey Bocharov said. The Balashovskaya substation in the region’s Novonikolayevka district caught fire after it was hit by debris from a falling drone, Bocharov claimed.

Firefighters are operating at the scene and repair services are working to restore power to nearby settlements, he said. No casualties were reported.

The fire broke out during a ‘massive drone attack’ targeting Volgograd Oblast’s energy infrastructure overnight, Bocharov said. The Balashovskaya substation is a 500-kv electrical substation owned by a subsidiary of Rosseti, Russia’s largest power transmission company. Russian media reported that flight restrictions were imposed at airports in the cities of Volgograd, Samara, Saratov and Tambov.

Russian Ministry of Defense said that Russian air defense forces shot down 51 Ukrainian drones over the country. According to the report, 12 UAVs were neutralized in Saratov, 11 in Volgograd, 8 in Rostov, 6 in Crimea, 4 in Bryansk and Voronezh, 3 in Belgorod, and 1 each over the Kursk, Black Sea and Azov waters.
