Multiple outlets report that Ukrainian drone attacks cause fires at Russian energy and logistics sites. Russian officials in the Krasnodar region say an overnight drone strike triggers a blaze at an oil terminal, with debris cited by some accounts as a factor. Astra news outlet, as cited by New York Post, says drones hit the Sheskharis oil terminal and depot, described as linked to Transneft’s main pipeline system in the area, and reports two people are injured.
Other reporting describes additional strikes on fuel and port infrastructure. Kyiv Post says drones target an oil depot in Armavir, Krasnodar Krai, igniting a large fire, and also breach defenses in Taganrog in Russia’s Rostov region, where a commercial tanker, an administrative facility, and a fuel reservoir are reported to catch fire. Euronews reports black smoke and explosions at an oil terminal in St. Petersburg after a drone strike, citing both Ukrainian and Russian officials.
Kyiv Post further reports Russian authorities claim a fire at the Afipsky Oil Refinery in Krasnodar Krai and damage and possible strikes in occupied Crimea. Ukraine has not consistently commented in the cited accounts.
