The attack targets Russian oil refineries, potentially disrupting refining capacity and causing supply shortages for refined products. This is a supply-side shock specific to Russia's refining sector, with possible spillover to global diesel and fuel markets if Russian exports are affected. The escalation also signals increased demand for drone and defense systems. Impact is region-specific (Russia/Ukraine) but with global commodity price implications.
