Ukraine announced that it struck the Ilsky oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar region in the south of the country, in the latest attack in an ongoing Ukrainian campaign targeting Moscow's capacity to convert crude oil into fuel.
Ukraine's General Staff said the overnight strike set the facility ablaze; the refinery has a design capacity of approximately 6.6 million tonnes per year, according to Bloomberg.
The strike is part of a series of Ukrainian attacks that have targeted Russian refineries and oil facilities in recent months, in an effort to affect Moscow's logistical and economic capacity during the ongoing war between the two countries.
Russia has yet to issue a detailed official comment on the extent of the damage caused by the fire at the Ilsky refinery.
