Summary
Five people were injured after Ukrainian drone debris sparked a fire at Russia’s Ilsky oil refinery in the Krasnodar region, local authorities said.
Late morning brought the immediate containment: Interfax, citing a local official, reported the blaze had been extinguished.
The Ilsky plant—an independent refinery with design capacity of about 6.6 million tons a year—has been hit repeatedly since Ukraine began targeting Russian energy infrastructure, including in July.
The strike came during another night of reciprocal attacks between Russia and Ukraine, including a large-scale Russian missile barrage on Kyiv.
