MOSCOW (Reuters) – 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.
Earlier, drones and artillery killed civilians on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine border on Saturday, local officials said.
In the Russian border region of Bryansk, a Ukrainian drone strike killed two people in their car in a village near the border, the region's acting Governor Yegor Kovalchuk said on Telegram.
Russia's Defence Ministry, quoted by Russian news agencies, said 124 Ukrainian drones had been downed over Russian regions over a period extending from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (0500-1700 GMT).
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin issued a long series of statements about Ukrainian drones heading for the capital being intercepted. An informal tally kept by Russian news agencies put the number at 24 during the day.
In Ukraine, the governor of the southeastern Dnipropetrovsk Region, Oleksandr Ganzha, said a combined total of more than 40 drone strikes and artillery fire had killed one person and injured one near Nikopol.
The town, lying on the opposite bank of the Dnipro River from the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, is a frequent Russian target.
The Moscow-appointed head of Russian-held areas in Ukraine's Donetsk region, Denis Pushilin, said on Telegram that two people were killed in Ukrainian drone strikes in the major towns of Horlivka and Makiivka.
