> they also tried to shoot at them missles at voronezh but blew up some petrol refinary

No, I believe the oil refinery got blown up by a Wagner surface to air missile. The Wagners were trying to shoot down a federal Ka-52, the helicopter successfully deployed countermeasures, and the missile flew off target into the backstop - which happened to be a refinery.

There are two videos of the event from different angles circulating on telegram, it's pretty clear.
