Rosneft limits fuel sales in several Russian regions amid refinery attacks
Rosneft has restricted fuel sales at stations in several Russian regions.
The limits include areas such as Krasnoyarsk, Karelia and Zabaykalsky Krai, with reports of restrictions elsewhere.
Drivers face caps that vary by region and fuel type, including limits of 30 litres of some gasoline grades in cities and higher allowances on highways.
Rosneft has introduced restrictions in many regions since June, as Ukraine stepped up long-range drone attacks on Russian refineries.
Recent strikes have hit several Rosneft refineries, including facilities in the Samara, Ufa and Ryazan regions.
The limits may help explain the pressure on fuel supplies, while analysts cited in coverage have warned that continued attacks could cause long-term damage to Rosneft's business.
No further changes to the restrictions were announced.
Rosneft has introduced gasoline sales limits in multiple Russian regions, Russian media reported on Nov. 9.
In Krasnoyarsk Krai, customers are limited to 30 liters of AI-95, 50 liters of AI-92 and 100 liters of diesel per customer.
Filling canisters is not allowed there.
Similar limits are reportedly in place in Karelia, Buryatia, Zabaykalsky Krai and Novosibirsk Oblast.
The restrictions come amid continued Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries.
