Ukrainian drones have attacked both a Russian oil refinery and a chemical production facility during the night. This is the second time Lukoil’s refinery in the Nizhny Novgorod region has been attacked this week. The chemical plant, Nevinnomyssk Azot factory, is located in Stavropol Krai and is one of Russia’s largest facilities for the production of fertilizers and explosives. Read more at Kyiv Independent.
While we are on the subject of refineries, the “Moscow Oil Refinery” has now completely stopped its production since the attack on May 17. The damage is said not to be very serious, but the halt is due to fears of further attacks.
During the night, Russia again attacked several regions in Ukraine, and at least 11 were injured. Several residences, including a high-rise building and commercial premises, were hit. Read more here.

New record in the ratio of unlocalized🇺🇦/localized🇷🇺 attacks. Clearly more Ukrainian attacks than Russian, over the past 24 hours according to AFU’s morning report.
Up in the north, down in Luhansk.
Continued Russian focus on Pokrovsk, with heavy pressure, barely increasing.

What Johan wrote yesterday is another indication that the unlocated ones might be Ukrainian attacks:

Continued pressure from Ukraine 👍🏻.
Could this misery finally be on its way to turning around? We here knew (hoped/believed) that the day would come, but I had not thought it would be four years after the full-scale invasion.
I hope every day that this war will come to an end. My hope is that Xi will give Putin an offer that Putin cannot refuse. Like “let’s be friends as we have been so far, and you make sure to end this war.”
The deliberations in Beijing today will probably be held behind closed doors, and very little is likely to leak out. To be continued.
