Fuel companies have urged customers not to linger at petrol pumps following a wave of deadly attacks, as Russia targets fuel sites in Ukraine.
The warnings come as fuel infrastructure on both sides of the war comes under attack. Ukraine has been hitting refineries in Russia, while Russia has been targeting petrol pumps in Ukraine.
The advice to customers is focused on reducing time spent at exposed refuelling points. Fuel companies are asking people to complete refuelling without delay rather than remain at the pumps longer than necessary.
The attacks underline the risks now facing civilian fuel supply points in Ukraine. Petrol pumps are not only essential for everyday transport but can also become dangerous locations when they are targeted during strikes.
The latest known position is that fuel companies are maintaining their warnings to customers after the deadly incidents, while attacks on fuel-related sites remain part of the wider conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
