History

Historical Context

On April 4 1999 NATO airstrikes hit Serbia’s Pancevo refinery, killing three workers and igniting roughly 80,000 tons of crude, which spiked carcinogen levels far above legal limits. The strike showed how disabling a major energy hub can cripple a nation’s fuel supply. Ukraine’s recent drone attacks on the Rosneft-owned Saratov refinery follow that same strategy against Russia.
