Wow, that was a fireball to mention! What structure especially did they hit?
The drones are small and the refineries are designed to handle sudden failures in the system and fires. Ukraine likely has some experts directing the targeting of the most difficult to replace or explosive parts. So they get the best bang for their efforts
Given the size of the fireball I would guess that they hit something close to the end of the production line for diesel/gasoline.
Definitely the case, because I was reading some independent ukrainian analysis on early deepstrikes vs refineries, some key components were targeted that are irreplaceable. All those deepstrikes are a long chain of spying, analysis, desicions, logistics, execution - with many people and time involved into each case. And ofc we see only successful ones. Huge amount of work been done there.
