Kazakhstan Monitors Oil Output After Russian Gas Plant Hit

Kazakhstan’s energy ministry is in contact with the nation’s oil producers following a drone attack on the large Orenburg gas-processing plant in Russia, the ministry said in a statement.

Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed the hit on Orenburg on social media, and also said it struck the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Russia’s Samara region overnight, damaging a primary crude oil processing unit and causing a fire and a series of explosions.
