Our rescuers continue to heroically put out the fire," Ukraine Pravda reported.
Apart from Ukraine's biggest oil refinery in Kremenchuk, Russia has carried out targeted assaults on oil installations around Ukraine, particularly in Lviv and Dnipro.

Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed the assault in the Kremenchuk oil refinery, stating that its troops had damaged gasoline and diesel fuel storage facilities at the oil refinery with high-precision long-range weaponry, according to The Wall Street Journal. This assault occurred after Russia accused Ukraine of shooting missiles at an oil station in Belgorod, a Russian city 20 miles from the Ukrainian border on Friday.During a press conference on Saturday, Russian Defence Ministry Spokesperson Major General Igor Konashenkov said that the Russian military has attacked gasoline and diesel fuel storage facilities that were aiding Ukrainian soldiers in the nation's eastern and central areas. According to Konashenkov, Russia also used high-precision air-based rockets to strike military airbases in Poltava and Dnipro, cities to the east of Kremenchuk, CNN reported.Lunin further stated that some people have suffered burn injuries but their lives are not in danger. He added that there is no environmental disaster, and the State Emergency Service is keeping an eye on the situation.Lunin went on to say that he has requested the inhabitants of the Poltava region to avoid queuing for gasoline and from creating a fake scarcity. "The war is ongoing in Ukraine, the situation is extremely difficult, but it is completely controlled," citing the head of the Poltava Regional Military Administration, Ukraine Pravda reportedFurthermore, Russian troops on Saturday night launched missiles at infrastructure and residential structures in different parts of eastern Ukraine, including Poltava. Officials in the area said they were trying to figure out how many people were killed. According to The Wall Street Journal, three short-range ballistic missiles were fired from Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014, on Odessa's southern district. Maksym Marchenko, the chief of Odessa's regional military administration, confirmed there were casualties but did not specify whether they were military or civilian.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.republicworld.com/amp/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/russia-attacked-major-oil-refinery-in-ukraines-kremenchuk-says-russian-defence-ministry-articleshow.html&ved=2ahUKEwjRlbOEn_f2AhWHxIUKHfZxDJcQvOMEKAB6BAgGEAE&usg=AOvVaw0opa8Y58k8capdFNAYFU-8
