A fire broke out at the Orsknefteorgsintez refinery in Russia's Orenburg Oblast.

Orsknefteorgsintez operates four primary oil-processing units with a total capacity of 6.6 million tonnes of oil per year.

The plant produces around 30 types of products including petrol, diesel, lubricants, aviation kerosene, bitumen and fuel oil.
