A fire has erupted at the Kstovo oil refinery in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod region. The incident follows a Ukrainian drone strike earlier in the day that ignited a fire at the nearby Gorky oil pumping station. Local authorities are attempting to reassure residents, claiming the refinery blaze is merely a controlled flare burn. The two fires in close proximity suggest a coordinated or follow-on attack on the region's critical oil infrastructure.
