Summary
Perm came under a drone attack targeting Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez, with local authorities confirming the strike and air defenses engaging UAVs over the Russian city.
Bolshoye Savino airport suspended arrivals and departures as sirens sounded across Perm and residents reported loud explosions in parts of the city.
The refinery is one of Russia's largest, with capacity of nearly 13 million tonnes a year, and supplies fuel to both civilian users and the Russian military.
Perm lies more than 1,500 km from Ukraine, and the site was already struck on July 29 in an earlier attack attributed to Ukraine's Security Service.
