Russia's Syzran oil refinery halted oil processing on December 5 after being damaged by a Ukrainian drone attack, sources told Reuters.
Ukraine and Russia continue to strike each other's energy infrastructure as peace talks stall.
The Ukrainian military said on Friday that it had carried out long-range strikes overnight on an oil refinery in the Russian city of Syzran and the port of Temryuk in the Krasnodar region.
According to the sources, the drones hit the CDU-6 primary oil refining unit, a key piece of equipment at the plant, which was already targeted by drones in August and required two weeks of repairs.
One of the sources said that the current repairs could take about a month.
Reference. According to industry sources, last year's oil processing at the Syzran plant was significantly below its design capacity and amounted to about 90,000 barrels per day, or 4.3 million metric tons.
Last year, the plant produced 800,000 tons of gasoline, 1.5 million tons of diesel fuel, and 700,000 tons of fuel oil.
