Latest News About Kirishi

Here’s the latest on Kirishi, based on recent reporting up to 2026:

• March 2026 reports indicated that Kirishi refinery could partially restart within a month after a drone attack halted operation, with restart pace depending on how quickly facilities can return to service. This suggests a phased resumption rather than a full, immediate restart.[2][3]
• Late 2025 coverage noted that the refinery had shut down its largest CDU unit following drone strikes and a fire, with recovery estimated just over a month and potential impacts on Russia’s fuel supply. These events highlighted ongoing vulnerability to attacks on energy infrastructure in Russia’s northwest region.[1]
• Additional contemporaneous industry chatter linked Kirishi with ongoing drone-related disruptions and the broader context of Russia’s refining capacity being affected by attacks, though details vary by source.[3][9]
• Public sources in early 2026 continued to track restart timelines and production outlook, with some reports suggesting partial returns ahead of a full restart as operators assess damage and safety conditions.[2][3]
