Ukrainian drone strike on Afipsky Oil Refinery
Ukraine's military confirmed a drone strike on the Afipsky Oil Refinery in the Kuban region, which it says supplies fuel to Russian forces. The attack caused a fire at the refinery's gas and gas condensate processing unit, and local railroad operations were suspended.
Why it matters
This is the fifth fire at the same refinery this year, indicating repeated Ukrainian efforts to disrupt Russian fuel supply for its invasion.
What's unclear
- The extent of damage to the refinery's processing unit is not specified.
- Whether the railroad suspension is directly caused by the strike or a precautionary measure is unclear.
