Ukraine launched drone and missile attacks targeting oil refineries and infrastructure in Russia, including facilities in Syzran and Krasnodar, during the night and early morning of August 30th. The Syzran oil refinery in the Samara region, a key Rosneft facility, was hit, with reports indicating the primary ELOU-AVT-6 unit and several tanks sustained significant damage. In Krasnodar, the oil refinery experienced a large fire, described by locals as "fireworks night." Additionally, a significant fire broke out behind the Rostov Arena stadium in Rostov. According to a statement attributed to the General Staff and shared by [@GeoConfirmed](https://twitter.com/GeoConfirmed), the Syzran refinery attack hit the ELOU-AVT-6 unit, which has a design capacity of 6 million tons of oil per year. This unit is crucial for atmospheric and vacuum distillation, as well as secondary distillation and gasoline stabilization. [@GeoConfirmed](https://twitter.com/GeoConfirmed) added that several tanks were "significantly damaged," suggesting a reduction in the Russian Federation's ability to supply fuel to its armed forces. Attacks were also reported in the Dnipro region of Ukraine, with multiple alerts concerning winged rockets and ballistic threats originating from the southeast. Reports indicated explosions and the work of air defense systems in Dnipro. Pavlograd also reported an impact causing a fire. Power outages were reported in some areas of Dnipro following the explosions. Separately, Denmark's Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen announced that Denmark will spend approximately €1.4 billion this year on funding weapons production for Ukraine by Ukrainian defense companies. Poulsen praised this "Danish model" as faster and more cost-effective than European producers and urged allies to join the initiative. Last year, Denmark placed €600 million in similar contracts. Details emerged regarding Ukraine's domestic missile production, specifically a missile named "Flamingo." Representatives for Fire Point, the company behind Flamingo, claim the missile began as a "napkin scribble in late 2024." The missile, made of fiberglass, reportedly uses an AI-25 turbofan engine produced by Motor Sich. Fire Point states that over 90% of final assembly occurs in secret sites across Ukraine, with production currently at one missile per day, aiming to increase to seven per day by October. The cost is reported to be under €1 million ($1.2 million) per missile. Competitors have raised doubts about its performance and alleged proximity to the presidential office, which the company denies.
