The death toll from the October 23 missile strike on an enterprise in Russia's Oryol rose to three, the governor said, as Ukraine's General Staff claimed a hit on Proton-Electrotex.
Governor Andrei Klychkov said on the Russian state-controlled Max messenger service that the bodies of three people were found while rubble was being cleared, RIA Novosti reported on October 24. Eight people had sought medical help by the previous day, the agency said. Klychkov said the missiles were made in Nato countries and struck at the evening rush hour as workers were going home.
Ukraine's General Staff said the main production building of Proton-Electrotex in Oryol was hit, which "complicates the production of components for cruise and ballistic missiles", UNN reported on October 24. It is the first Ukrainian official claim of the strike. The General Staff also claimed hits on the Tolyattikauchuk synthetic rubber plant in Tolyatti and on an aircraft at Yeysk airfield in Krasnodar Krai.

Refinery strikes
Nationwide: no new strike on a Russian oil refinery was reported for October 24 or the night of October 24-25 at the time of writing. The fires at Tolyattikauchuk in Tolyatti and, by channel reports, Omsky Kauchuk in Omsk are at synthetic rubber plants, not refineries, and are reported below.
Nationwide, capacity: plants reported halted or cut so far in October account for about 14.8mn tonnes a year, or 5% of Russia's 327mn tonnes nameplate capacity, by IntelliNews' refinery ledger, and up to 145.8mn tonnes, or 45%, if halts reported earlier still hold. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak put capacity under repair at about 10% in early September.

The ledgers
The running ledgers are kept as six public spreadsheets at permanent addresses. The first three are non-exhaustive, every row is sourced, and where only one side has spoken the row says so. Defence ministry figures are recorded as claims, and in the sabotage ledger attribution is given exactly as the authorities state it and no further. The fourth tracks what has happened to Ukraine's steel, iron ore, coke, ferroalloy and non-ferrous plants since 2021, grouped by owner. The fifth tracks strikes on data centres, telecoms, media and research sites; the sixth tracks refinery strikes.
