The Cirishinefteorgsintez oil refinery in Kirishi, Leningrad region, was reportedly attacked again between 5:04 AM and 6:04 AM UTC on October 4th, 2025, according to FIRMS data picked up by multiple OSINT accounts including [@Tendar](https://twitter.com/Tendar), [@GeoConfirmed](https://twitter.com/GeoConfirmed), and [@Tatarigami_UA](https://twitter.com/Tatarigami_UA). The specific timing and extent of damage remain unconfirmed within this reporting window, but the incident follows a previous attack on the same facility in the early hours of October 4th. This renewed strike on a key Russian energy infrastructure site occurs amidst an ongoing fuel crisis impacting occupied Crimea and regions around Moscow. Reports from October 3rd indicated gasoline shortages and price hikes in Sevastopol, with sales restricted and fuel imported from abroad. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have been reportedly striking Russian oil refineries frequently, contributing to the deficit, according to Radio Svoboda. Details regarding the method of attack or potential casualties have not been released by official sources. The FIRMS (Fire Information for Resource Management System) data, which detects thermal anomalies, suggests the refinery was targeted again. This event adds to a series of Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil processing facilities aimed at disrupting Moscow's war-fighting capacity.
