Ukraine strikes oil refinery in Krasnodar – VIDEO

The Ukrainian Armed Forces have struck the Afipsky oil refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar Territory using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The attack sparked a major fire at the facility.

TodayPress TV reports, citing The Kyiv Independent, that one of the refinery’s primary oil processing units was damaged.

Special emergency response teams and firefighting trains were deployed to extinguish the blaze.

Ukraine says strikes on strategic facilities of this kind are aimed at weakening the Russian army’s fuel and logistics supplies. Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development and Defence Ministry reported that air defence systems had been activated in response to the attack, but did not deny damage at the refinery.

Investigations are ongoing to establish whether there were any casualties and determine the full extent of the damage.
