Russia's NORSI refinery halted after drone attack, sources say

NORSI, Russia's fourth-largest oil refinery and second-largest gasoline producer, suspended operations after a Ukrainian drone attack. The shutdown is likely to worsen nationwide fuel shortages, adding pressure to Russia's refined-product supply and potentially supporting regional fuel prices. The incident underscores ongoing geopolitical risk to energy infrastructure.
