Attacks on Russian oil refineries
But attacks against Russia also came from Ukraine: according to its own reports, two Russian oil refineries and a military airbase were hit in a large-scale drone strike. Ukraine has struck significant technical facilities at two refineries in Russia's southern region of Krasnodar, a Ukrainian defense source told AFP.
Russian authorities had earlier reported a fire at a refinery in the city of Slavyansk-na-Kubani. According to state media, the plant partially halted production. According to the Defense Ministry, a total of 66 drones were intercepted in Krasnodar and two drones were intercepted in the annexed Crimean Peninsula.
The governor of the Krasnodar region told the Telegram online service that the drones appeared to be intended to attack “oil refineries and infrastructure” but “there were no injuries or serious damage”.
