The refinery is owned by Rosneft and has suffered major attack before, in a March 2025 Ukrainian operation. Local authorities have declared a state of emergency, after schools and residential buildings suffered damage, and all classes have been canceled.

Together, these companies account for about half of India's 5.2 million barrels per day of refining capacity.
Instead of going into the open market to buy dollars on the spot—meaning immediate purchase at c...
