Summary
A fire broke out at southern Russia’s Afipsky refinery after overnight drone strikes, marking the latest exchange of attacks between Moscow and Kyiv.
Falling drone debris caused the blaze, according to local emergency services, pointing to the strike’s immediate trigger rather than an internal accident.
Several residential buildings and railroad infrastructure were also damaged near the refinery, widening the impact beyond the plant itself.
In the same overnight wave, fuel facilities in Ukraine’s Black Sea port of Odesa were hit, underscoring how both sides are targeting energy-linked infrastructure.
