Ukrainian drone strikes crippled a major Russian gas-processing plant in Orenburg on October 19, causing massive fires. It's the largest facility of its kind in the world and had to suspend gas intake from Kazakhstan. A second strike on a Novokuibyshevsk oil facility also set off a major blaze. This plant makes fuel for Russian jets and lubricants for rockets.
