A total of 57 UAVs were involved in the attack, with fragments of the destroyed drones found near the railway crossing in the village of Levkovskoye and debris in fields near the villages of Ilysky and Afipsky.
However, no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the UAV strikes or debris found in the villages have been made. The location of the refinery in the North District was not specified in the provided text, and no information was given about the potential impact or damage to the refinery from the UAV strike.
On the night of August 24, Russian air defense forces neutralized an additional 95 Ukrainian UAVs, intercepting and destroying all 57 drones that attempted to strike the refinery in the North District. The Ukrainian Armed Forces unit that carried out these attacks is not explicitly named in the available search results.
