DniproOsint satellite imagery indicates around 86% of primary oil-processing capacity at Russia's Perm refinery has been knocked offline after strikes, equal to 11.30 million tonnes per year. AVT-5, rated at 4.53 million tonnes annually, suffered critical damage to its distillation columns and previously unreported damage to the crude-oil desalting and dehydration unit. Repair cranes are also visible at AVT-4 and AVT-1, which indicates damage.

Why does Australia actually owns almost half of Antarctica?While the world views Antarctica as a peaceful sanctuary for science and penguins, Australia treats it like a massive geopolitical cash cow. In 1933, the British Empire mapped millions of square miles of empty ice and simply gifted the territory to Australia, giving them a claim to nearly 42% of the entire continent. Today, international treaties strictly ban anyone from mining or militarizing the frozen land. So why does Australia actively patrol these freezing waters with armed ships? The secret lies in a massive maritime loophole: owning the useless ice legally grants them exclusive, highly lucrative economic and fishing rights in the surrounding ocean. Discover how a warm-weather nation outsmarted the globe to become the undisputed landlord of the South Pole!Did you know? 🎓
