🇱🇾 EXPLOSIONS REPORTED AT LIBYA’S ZAWIYA REFINERY Videos from... western Libya show explosions and fire at a fuel tank inside the Zawiya refinery, roughly 40 km west of Tripoli. The cause of the latest explosions is not yet clear. The refinery is strategically important, it has a processing capacity of around 120,000 barrels per day and is linked to the massive Sharara oil field, one of Libya’s principal production centers. The incident also comes just two days after the refinery said a drone struck an untreated naphtha storage tank, puncturing it and causing a leak. That earlier incident was contained without injuries or a fire.show more

Zelensky vowed to respond after the attack on the... Pechersk Lavra. Ukrainian long-range drones struck the Moscow oil refinery early morning, triggering a major fire and heavy smoke at one of Russia’s largest refining sites. The facility processes about 12.8 million tonnes of oil per year, or roughly 245,000-250,000 barrels per day, and supplies around 35-40% of fuel consumed in Moscow and the surrounding region. #Russiashow more

💥 Explosion at giant Valero refinery in Texas: facility... with 435,000 bpd capacity partially shut down A powerful explosion hit the Valero Port Arthur refinery in Texas — one of the largest in the US and among the top 5 in the country. The fire broke out in the diesel hydrotreater unit. Crews have contained it, but haven’t fully extinguished it yet — it may keep burning for hours due to remaining fuel. The refinery accounts for about 1–2% of total US oil refining capacity. Operators have shut down part of the facility. A faulty industrial heater is the likely cause. This marks the second similar incident in Texas in the past two weeks.show more

Gasoline shortage intensifies in Russia Supply disruptions are now... reported in 10 regions, and half of the gas stations in annexed Crimea are out of service. Russian media report that gasoline production has dropped by about 10% over the past two months. Even residents of Moscow and the Moscow region are noticing shortages at fuel stations. In Crimea and Sevastopol, half of the gas stations have stopped selling fuel. The decline in refinery output is partly due to Ukrainian drone attacks. In August, the strikes disabled roughly 17% of oil processing capacity (1.2 million barrels per day).show more

🚨🇺🇸 The Valero Port Arthur refinery is one of... the largest in the United States The facility processes roughly 395,000 barrels of crude oil per day, making it a critical piece of America's fuel supply chain. Port Arthur sits along the Gulf Coast refining corridor that handles nearly half of all U.S. refining capacity. This comes at the worst possible time. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed. Iraq declared force majeure on its oil production. Qatar's LNG hub is damaged. Global crude is above $100. And the U.S. just authorized sales of Iranian and Russian oil to keep markets from spiraling further. Even a temporary shutdown of a facility this size tightens domestic fuel supply at a moment when Americans are already paying $3.90+ at the pump. If repairs take weeks, gas prices in the Gulf Coast region could spike ahead of the rest of the country. Source: KHOU / Reutersshow more

🇷🇺 Russia’s oil production has been declining for the... sixth consecutive month In May, average daily production stood at 9.009 million barrels per day, the lowest level in more than a year. This figure is approximately 370,000 barrels lower than the November peak (9.38 million barrels per day) and falls 690,000 barrels short of Russia’s quota under the OPEC+ agreement. According to analysts, the decline coincides with an increase in attacks on Russian oil infrastructure. This sustained drop in oil production reflects the cumulative impact of Ukrainian strikes on refineries and related infrastructure. The gap from OPEC+ quotas and year-on-year lows further strains Russia’s economy and budget, highlighting the strategic effectiveness of Ukraine’s long-range campaign against Russia’s energy sector.

🔥 Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed strikes on key Russian... facilities ▪️ Ukrainian drones hit the Ust-Luga seaport terminal in the Leningrad region. ▪️ The Syzran oil refinery was also targeted. This is a serious blow for Russia: the plant processes up to 8.5 million tons of oil per year — over 3% of the country’s total refining capacity. It produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and other petroleum products supplied to the occupying army. Looks like someone will soon run out of fuel again. Happy holiday! 🇺🇦show more

🇷🇺 Why wasn't the Omsk oil refinery better protected?... 😁🔽 “Ukrainian drones reached the Omsk refinery — the largest in the country, accounting for almost 10% of all oil refining. The refinery supplies all of Western Siberia and the Urals. It is reported that FP-1 drones struck a unit with a capacity of 8.4 million tons of oil per year out of the plant’s total capacity of 22 million tons. The Omsk refinery is such an obvious and attractive target that it was bound to be reached sooner or later. And it was. From the Ukrainian border to Omsk is more than 2,500 km. The FP-1 flies at a speed of 140–180 km/h — that is 14–17 hours of flight in a straight line, but the drone most likely had to bypass air defense zones, so it would have taken longer. That means it took off yesterday evening and arrived today during the day. And this is a slow propeller-driven device that could have been detected in advance, its target could have been predicted, and it could have been tracked all the way to Omsk. In that time, mobile groups could have been redeployed, local forces alerted, aviation scrambled. Twenty hours, after all. Why didn’t this happen? Once again, the answer, I think, should be sought not in technology but in the structure of the Russian vertical of power itself. Imagine officials at all levels, from the Kremlin to Omsk. To organize any kind of defense system, someone has to take the initiative: find resources, involve unusual, non-system people who might be able to solve such tasks, although it’s not certain. Coordinate it with a dozen agencies, agree on coordination without calls to Moscow, cover everything with paperwork so as not to later be prosecuted for misuse of funds. And even after all that, there is still a high chance the drone will break through — and then they will have to figure out how exactly it got through and rebuild the defense again. But the main question is — who will be responsible for the first failure? That very initiative-taking official who made the decision himself? He is supposed to be held accountable for the failure. So he will be removed. By the way, until he showed up, everything was calm, Ukrainian drones weren’t arriving, and as soon as he started being active — they started arriving immediately. Maybe he’s an SBU agent, huh? Let’s be honest — would you, in his place, take on defending an oil refinery?” — Russian political blogger Igor Dimitriev Video: Exilenova+show more

UNUSUAL China begins building the “New Three Gorges” China... has announced the launch of a major new project — the construction of the “Three Gorges” waterway on the Yangtze River, which will include the largest navigation gate in the world. The project, costing 77.2 billion yuan (£11.4 billion), includes a new navigation channel at the Three Gorges Dam — the largest engineering project in the world — as well as an expansion of the dam’s capacity at Gezhouba downstream on the Yangtze. It is designed for vessels of up to 10,000 tons. This is the first major national project to be launched under China’s 14th Five‑Year Plan (2026–2030), and it comes after ten years of research and planning studies. It is being built due to the rising volume of transport along the Yangtze River — China’s main inland shipping artery. Once completed, the annual capacity of the “Three Gorges” will double, exceeding 336 million tonsshow more
