Ukrainian drones struck Russian targets including an oil refinery ​in the southern Krasnodar region overnight, ‌local authorities said, as Kyiv continues energy infrastructure attacks that have caused acute ​fuel shortages in parts of ​Russia.

 

In a statement on Telegram on ⁠Sunday, Krasnodar region governor Veniamin ​Kondratiev said that a fire had ​broken out at the refinery in Slavyansk-na-Kubani, with one person killed and another injured ​in a nearby village.

 


Unverified footage ​on social media showed a large fire at ‌the ⁠refinery.

 

Slavyansk refinery is a private plant with capacity of about 100,000 barrels per day. It supplies fuel ​for domestic ​use and ⁠export.

 

Elsewhere in Russia, the governor of the Yaroslavl ​region, east of Moscow, said ​the ⁠region had come under drone attack and that temporary limits had been ⁠placed ​on movement on some ​road routes to the Russian capital.
